Obama et les arrières-pensées de la main tendue aux musulmans

Posted by seumasach on June 5, 2009

Les États-Unis ne considèrent plus les peuples musulmans comme leur ennemi parce qu’ils ne sont pas parvenus à les écraser.

Le président des États-Unis a tendu la main aux musulmans lors d’un discours très médiatisé au Caire. Il entendait ainsi tourner la désastreuse page de la « croisade » bushienne au Grand Moyen-Orient. Toutefois, dans cet exercice de relations publiques, les envolées lyriques ont remplacé les clarifications nécessaires, tandis qu’apparaissaient les nouveaux appétits de Washington.

L’armée pakistanaise, encadrée par les États-Unis, a tenté d’écraser les talibans dans l’ex-principauté de Swat. Les combats, particulièrement imprécis, ont provoqué l’exode de 2 millions de personnes. Selon Rashid Zubair, les talibans de Swat incarneraient avant tout une révolte des pauvres, tandis que la stratégie US les instrumenterait pour provoquer une guerre civile et justifier une confiscation des armes atomiques.

After 8 years of the Bush-Cheney nightmare during which we saw the wanton destruction of Afghanistan and Iraq, the cynical negation of centuries of Law designed to protect the most basic human rights and a foreign policy worthy of Genghis Khan, there came along the “Great Black Hope” in the persona of Barack Obama. The collective world consciousness turned uncritically to what was presented as a new era for peace, change and trust in Government.

Nothing of significance takes place in Eurasia without an energy angle. In this insightful analysis, global reporter Pepe Escobar focuses on the ongoing energy struggle across “Pipelineistan” and the Great Game of business, diplomacy and proxy war between Russia and the U.S. He delves into tumultuous Central and South Asia and the “AfPak” battleground. There, U.S. planes and unmanned aerial drones are killing combatants as well as civilians, while, in Afghanistan, Washington continues to build new military bases. Under the carnage of war, courses the Liquid War. Just how the energy flows and through which territories controlled by whom can make – quite literally – a world of difference, even though it rarely captures our attention.

Le président Obama, qui avait soulevé bien des espoirs en Amérique latine, n’a pas tardé à décevoir. Après avoir annoncé de manière spectaculaire une révision de la politique de Washington à l’égard de Cuba, il s’est dédit. Sur ce point, comme sur bien d’autres, Barack Obama a annulé les excès trop voyants de George W. Bush pour mieux renouer avec la politique impériale classique de ses prédécesseurs.
