“The Secretary General is deeply concerned by reports of the unacceptably large number of civilian casualties as a result of the conflict in Libya,”
What then is an acceptable number of civilian casualties in an operation aiming to protect civilians?- how many civilians can you kill while protecting them?

Although everyday life seems to go on as normal, looting and burning notwithstanding, the worlds events are hurtling towards their denouement. Never has one flashpoint succeeded another with such breakneck speed and the prevailing feeling can only be one of bewilderment. This year has seen, so far, the Arab Spring, a new war against an Arab nation which has gone disastrously wrong for “the scourge of the world”, the new Tamberlaine, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, a new stock market collapse, unpredented post-modern rioting ,the Norwegian terror attacks and the implosion of the Murdoch empire, amongst other prodigies. The question is: how are these events connected?

A 150 jours de bombardements, l’OTAN a rasé de nombreuses infrastructures, mais n’a toujours pas obtenu le moindre résultat militaire probant. Cet échec est imputable à l’absence de réflexion stratégique préalable. L’OTAN a cru pouvoir appliquer en Libye les méthodes standard qu’elle avait conçues pour d’autres environnements. Elle se trouve désemparée face à un cas particulier. La plus grande alliance militaire de l’Histoire, qui avait été formée pour affronter l’URSS puis avait rêvé de devenir le gendarme du monde, n’a pas réussi sa reconversion.

Indian Punchline
9th August, 2011
In a high-profile month of August, occupying the presidency of the United Nations Security Council could have embellished India’s claim to permanent membership of the club. But it is not going to happen that way, but instead it may turn out to be a test of the resilience of India’s ‘non-alignment’ in a multi-polar world. India’s tight-rope walk on Syria moves on to a delicate trapeze act this week when the United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon presents his report on Syria and the 15 members begin to deliberate what to do with it.

London’s burning. Wall Street’s burning. Global markets are burning. While Rome burns, the House of Saud fiddles – dreams of expanding torture and building a monster minaret coupled with scolding Syria for repressing its own people. The “international community” barely emits a peep; when you’re a Medieval family dynasty sitting on an ocean of oil, you can get away with virtually anything.

Peck is author of the new book ”Ideal Illusions: How the U.S. Government Co-Opted Human Rights.” He was a Senior Editor at Pantheon Books for almost two decades where his authors included J. William Fulbright, Noam Chomsky, George Kennan, and Edward Said. He also worked in China for more than a decade as Executive Director of the US-China Book Publication Project. Peck is the author of “Washington’s China” and editor of ”The Chomsky Reader.” He said today: “The war in Libya today, and calls for intervening in Syria tomorrow, epitomize a tragic development in the human rights and humanitarian ethos: War and various other kinds of overt and covert intervention are being re-legitimized through Washington’s human rights rhetoric. Libya tells us everything we should not be seeking to do in Syria and why humanitarian war is a monstrous illusion.

Imagine, if Libya was now in a position to drop arms to the “rebels” in London; Imagine, if Libya was in a position to send military trainers to the U.K., to teach the “rebels” in London; both France and Britain sent dozens of military “advisors” to Benghazi to train the Sarkozy “rebels.”
