As for Obama himself, he has certain ideas that do not make me very optimistic about the general policies that the United States will pursue. I do not think he will make many changes… I do not think there will be many changes in US policy towards Latin America either. I think the United States is not led by one person. Great interests of corporations really lead American policy. I hope I am wrong but we will not be able to talk about real change in US policy until we see a signal of new change, such as change in sanctions against Cuba or Iran. |

“In a government of law, the existence of the government will be imperiled if it fails to observe the law scrupulously. Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by example. Crime is contagious.

Nothing has changed since then. The US attacked Iraq for its wealth, and the strategic value of controlling such wealth. The Bush administration and their allies have tried many times to distract from this reality, using every political cover and charade imaginable. |

John Bolton – the neocons’ neocon – laments that Bush (and Israel) did not have the gumption to confront Iran militarily - yet a third war in Asia. Bolton pontificates – with, of course, no evidence – that Iran will now become a nuclear military power, says Robert Dreyfuss. |
