Strange as it may seem and irrational as it would be in a more logical system of world diplomacy, the “dollar glut” is what finances America’s global military build-up. It forces foreign central banks to bear the costs of America’s expanding military empire: effective “taxation without representation”.

If the anti-war people can get something going and link it up with the Wisconsin movement and stopping further bailouts of Wall Street then we are beginning to see the emergence of a real opposition.

Go, go, you coward; you are an American agent
– Protesters chanting in Sana’a, March 24
So far no R2P (“responsibility to protect”). No United Nations resolution. No no-fly zone. No “coalition of the willing”. No Tomahawks. No Predator drones. No C-130 gun ships. No humanitarian imperialism.
