There’s something rotten in the state of Denmark- but things are looking up! How anomalous and un-NATO- like for them not to plunge into a new bombing campaign.
NATO can’t be the world’s policeman, travelling from country to country, solving all the problems.
Wonderful news!

The presidential election campaign is reaching fever pitch in the United States, but for Africans the zeal, pomp, zest and funfair over Barack Obama’s prospects of winning is non-existent. Unlike Obama’s first election campaign, Africans have nothing to celebrate about, for, they now know Obama as just another American president, pushing the same natural resources exploitation agenda.

Our mistake was that while accepting the US proposal, we have not taken into account a political risk related to the change of the US president. We have paid a too high political price for that.”

Le 25e sommet de l’OTAN n’est pas parvenu à répondre à la question lancinante qui hante l’Organisation depuis l’effondrement de l’URSS : en quoi peut-elle être utile à ses membres, hormis au Royaume-Uni et aux USA ? Toute question sur le massacre de 160 000 Libyens ou sur l’annulation de l’attaque de la Syrie étant écartée, les chefs d’États et de gouvernement ont simplement été sommés de financer le complexe militaro-industriel US.

On May 20th, world leaders will meet at the NATO Summit in Chicago, where the future of hundreds of US nuclear weapons deployed in Europe is on the agenda. Let’s tell them it’s time to get these weapons out of Europe, sign the petition below!
The Cold War has been over for more than 20 years. Keeping US nuclear weapons in Germany, Turkey, the Netherlands, Belgium and Italy makes no sense. These weapons are relics of a bygone age: they are dangerous, useless and expensive and do not address today’s actual security threats. We urge you to remove these weapons from Europe. You have a historic opportunity to take the next critical step toward a world without nuclear weapons.

NATO’s claim that it cannot investigate civilian casualties because it has no mandate to be in Libya is feeble and disingenuous.”

On May 14, 2012, Human Rights Watch released an important report, Unacknowledged Deaths: Civilian Casualties in NATO’s Air Campaign in Libya. The 82-page report reveals conclusively that some of NATO’s ten thousand sorties flown over Libya resulted in the deaths of at least seventy-two civilians, including twenty-four children. These are not large numbers, largely because HRW’s analysis is based on the most obvious cases and because its work was not assisted by an investigation of NATO’s own paperwork. HRW did not conduct a comprehensive investigation. That was not possible. Its investigators went to eight sites of NATO air strikes and found here that NATO’s bombs had indeed killed civilians. The findings, then, are not comprehensive. They are illustrative.
