>WALTER WILLIAMS - On the eve of the 2nd anniversary of the U.S. invasion
>of Iraq, March 18th, 2005, the Pentagon released its National Defense
>Strategy of the United States of America, in which it made clear its views
>on international law. The document states "Our strength as a nation will
>continue to be challenged by those who employ a strategy of the weak,
>focusing on international fora, judicial processes and terrorism." Douglas
>Feith, the outgoing undersecretary of defense for policy, explained that
>"the arguments some people make try to, in effect, criminalize foreign
>policy."

>CHRIS FLOYD, MOSCOW TIMES Let's face the facts. The game is over and we --
>the "reality-based community," the believers in genuine democracy and law,
>the heirs of Jefferson and Madison, Emerson and Thoreau, the toilers and
>dreamers, all those who seek to rise above the beast within and shape the
>brutal chaos of existence into something higher, richer and imbued with
>meaning -- have lost. The better world we thought had been won out of the
>blood and horror of history -- a realm of enlightenment that often found
>its best embodiment in the ideals and aspirations of the American Republic
>-- is gone. It's been swallowed by darkness, by ravening greed, by bestial
>spirits and by willful primitives who now possess overwhelming instruments
>of power and dominion.
>
>A gang of such spirits seized control of the U.S. government by illicit
>means in 2000 and maintained that control through rampant electoral
>corruption in 2004. The re-election of President George W. Bush last
>November was a deliberately shambolic process that saw massive lockouts of
>opposition voters; unverifiable returns compiled by easily hackable
>machines operated by avowed corporate partisans of the ruling party; and
>vast discrepancies between exit polls and final results - gaps much larger
>than those that led elections in Ukraine and Georgia to be condemned as
>manipulated frauds. Indeed, a panel of statisticians said last week that
>the odds of such a discrepancy occurring naturally were 959,000 to 1, the
>Akron Beacon-Journal reported. . .
>
>Let's have no illusions about where we are. Gangsters are in charge, and
>nothing and no one will be allowed to challenge their dominion. They are
>waging aggressive war to cement their position and that of their allies:
>the energy barons, the arms merchants, the construction and services
>cartels, the investment bankers. These power blocs now command monstrous
>resources and unfathomable profits; they can buy out, buy off or bury any
>force that opposes them. Meanwhile, they use the loot of the stolen
>Republic -- its blood and treasure -- as fuel for their ever-expanding war
>machine: Bush now has a "secret watch-list" of 25 more countries ripe for
>military intervention, the Financial Times reported.
>
>With more war crimes afoot, last month Bush issued an official "National
>Defense Strategy" that openly declares "judicial processes" as one of the
>enemies confronting the United States, actually equating them with
>terrorism, The Associated Press reported. Law is "a strategy of the weak,"
>says the Bush doctrine, in a chilling echo of Hitlerian machtpolitik:
>might makes right. The judicial process must not be allowed to "constrain
>or shape" American behavior in any way, the gangsters declared.
>
>Think of it: Law is now the enemy. Democracy, as we've seen above, is the
>enemy. This, the demented code of criminals and tyrants, has become the
>ruling doctrine of the United States -- replacing the Constitution,
>replacing the noble struggle for liberty and enlightenment with the howl
>of the beast, with a freak show of avarice and death.
