The United States has reintroduced its old "assassination" foreign policy. It now has a simpler name: it's "murder."
Does any living American remember when Americans lived by the rule of law? Does anybody in the United States object to assassination?
Americans simply murdered Osama bin Laden. Mr. Obama wouldn't have trusted the World Court to try him, and the United States didn't have legal jurisdiction to try him.
Mr. Obama won't attempt to bring to trial any of his prisoners in the illegal concentration camp at Guantanamo because (a) they have been held--for ten years--illegally; (b) the United States has no authority to try them for anything; and (c) Mr. Obama doesn't trust courts to convict them automatically.
It is appropriate that in his current multi-wars in the middle east, Mr. Obama's preferred murder weapon is the drone. Drones perform surgical killings--a lot like abortions, except that surgical killings sometimes abort the wrong victims.
An unidentifiable android in the Nevada desert programs a drone to kill somebody ten thousand miles away. Or American-fed, American-funded surrogates--a human form of drones--capture, then murder Khadafi.
It's all very simple. AND UTTERLY UNETHICAL, UNLAWFUL, ILLEGAL, CRIMINAL.
God bless America? If there is a God--particularly a Christian God--he or she will DAMN America.

PRIORITIES
Another new Obama war? In Uganda?
But we can't afford long-term health care for elderly Americans.
Priorities? Obama is an idiot. A war-monger. Give me Richard Nixon, or even Lyndon Johnson. Or George the First. Their crimes were petty, compared with Obama's. Even stupid George W Bush--advised by Cheney and Rumsfeld--wasn't as bad as Obama.
How would you like to be the daughters of that man? Growing up, knowing what your father did?

ATTEMPTED MURDER
Iran was planning to murder an Ambassador, the U.S. says.
The U.S. admits to more than 28 attempts on the life of Fidel Castro. It murdered President Diem in South Vietnam when he was no longer useful. Who else? It tried to murder Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua. Hasn't it just tried to murder President Kadhafi in Libya? Did the U.S. have any right to murder thousands of people in Iraq? What right had the U.S. to murder Osama bin Laden?
Is the U.S. president insane, claiming that Iran has violated the U.N. charter? The U.S. has violated the U.N. charter dozens of times, with its wars and assassinations.
If the U.S. didn't have 12,000 nuclear missiles and a record of being willing to use them, it would be declared a rogue state, and brought before the world court. Slobodan Milosovic is no more a war criminal than George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
I don't support assassination, by Iraq or the U.S. But I find it particularly disgusting for the U.S. to complain about Iran's allegedly uncivilised conduct. The U.S. leads the world in uncivilised conduct.
Oh. I forgot to mention torture. And Bradley Manning.

Medical "Research"
Does anybody remember when medical research was scientific? These days, any doctor who has access to medical files can claim to be a researcher, by assembling some statistics. Basic science is third cousin twice removed from statistics.
Never mind what causes disease X; if 45% of the people who have disease X ate prunes twice a week, that is supposedly a scientific discovery. So what if 45% of the people who have disease didn'teat prunes at all? Well, according to current medical "science," both statistics rank as scientific discoveries.
Science reduced to statistics is nonsense. Most physicians aren't scientists--but a few physicians who have ambitions beyond their capacities pretend to be scientists, and the medical profession more and more pretends that statistics, not science, can guide medical practice.
Nonsense. Utter nonsense.

THE EVIL MEN DO LIVES AFTER THEM
I voted for Mr. Obama. So did enough other people to get him elected. Mr. Obama defeated a stupid but honest man. The Nobel Committee in Oslo agreed with our vote, and awarded him the Nobel Peace Prize.
Now he is the world's leading criminal. He has no respect for any laws. He violates the United Nations Charter on torture. He refuses to let United Nations monitors interview Bradley Manning--who has been held without charge for 16 months (a violation of the U.S. Constitution, but Mr. Bush and Mr. Obama have both suspended the Constitutional right of Habeas Corpus)--and has already convicted him, by executive declaration: "He broke the law." He has expanded Mr. Bush's offensive wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to include Pakistan, Syria, and Libya. Will he next attack Mexico?
Now Mr. Obama has murdered an American citizen because he has declared that citizen guilty of terrorist activities. Supposedly, the idea of a bounty of the "head" of an alleged criminal went out in the late nineteenth century, as the United States moved toward civilisation.
Mr. Obama is a dictator. He is the law. Of course, in matters of domestic policy, he doesn't act as a dictator: he is a patsy for the rich. And in exchange, they let him play Nero in the rest of the world.
Have Americans no shame? "My country, right or wrong" has never--ever--been as bad as this. Give us Bush II and Cheney: they were better. Oh, for the good old days of Richard Nixon and Lyndon Johnson.
Has there been a worse president than Barak Obama? Ever? Has there ever been a more dangerous man in the White House? Has the United States ever been so dishonorable?
And yet there is no protest. We roused ourselves to protest against Lyndon Johnson's small war against Vietnam. We were indignant enough to force Richard Nixon out of office for minor crimes. And we impeached Bill Clinton for sexual dalliances with a White House intern. But we accept Mr. Obama's lawlessness, his violations of our Constitution and our honor.
Are we--ourselves--as un-American as he is? Have we no honor left?

Velveeta
I've just read that Velveeta contains fine strands of wire. I'm shocked. All these years I've thought it was made of pure mucilage and orange food coloring. But then I didn't think American law allowed the president to order the murder of American citizens suspected of crimes. I thought that was forbidden. Stupid me.
