U.S., Russia both act in same manner

Wednesday August 20, 2008
 

The United States recently supported Kosovo's independence, made possible by our attack on Serbia in 1999. Serbian sovereignty was of no account. In 1982, Israel invaded Lebanon in response to an assassination in London, not by the Palestian Liberation Organization. But the PLO was expelled, 20,000 killed and Israel occupied southern Lebanon until 2000.

In 2006, in response to an incursion that killed two Israeli soldiers, Israel bombed Lebanon and unsuccessfully attempted to invade. In all this, neither sovereignty nor proportion was of account. Meanwhile, the U.S. has occupied Afghanistan and Iraq, establishing puppet regimes.
