The World Can Halt Bush's Crimes By Dumping The Dollar

Such an attack justified in the name of "American security" and "American hegemony" would constitute the rawest form of evil the world has ever seen, far surpassing in evil the atrocities of the Nazi and Communist regimes. Dr. Caldicott detailed the horrible long-term consequences for the Iraqi population from the US military’s current use of depleted uranium in explosive ammunition used in Iraq. Caldicott explained that "depleted" does not mean depleted of radiation. She explained that each time such ammunition is used, radioactive particles are released in the air and are absorbed into people’s lungs. We are yet to see the horrific civilian casualty rate of the American invasion – or the true casualty rate among US troops. Dr. Caldicott expressed bewilderment why the rest of the world does not stand up to the US and force a halt to its crimes against humanity. One man heard her – Vladimir Putin, President of Russia. On February 10 at the 43rd Munich Security Conference, President Putin told the world’s assembled political leaders that the US was trying to establish a "uni-polar world," which he defined as "one single center of power, one single center of force and one single master." This goal, Putin said, was a "formula for disaster." "The United States," Putin said, truthfully, "has overstepped its borders in all spheres" and "has imposed itself on other states." The Russian leader declared: "We see no kind of restraint – a hyper-inflated use of force." To avoid catastrophe, Putin said a reconsideration of the entire existing architecture of global security was necessary. Putin’s words of truth fell on many deaf ears. US Senator John McCain, America’s most idiotic and dangerous "leader" after Bush and Cheney, equated Putin’s legitimate criticism of the US with "confrontation." America’s new puppets – the states of central and Eastern Europe and the secretary general of NATO, no longer a treaty for the defense of Europe but a military force enlisted in America’s quest for empire – lined up with McCain’s argument that Russia was in fundamental conflict "with the core values of Euro-Atlantic democracies." Even the BBC’s defense and security correspondent, Rob Watson, jumped on the American propaganda bandwagon, tagging Putin’s speech a revival of the cold war. No delegate at the security conference stood up to state the obvious fact that it is not Russia that is invading countries under pretexts as false as Hitler’s and setting up weapons systems on foreign soil in order to achieve military hegemony. The reception given to Putin’s words made it clear to Russia, China, and every country not bribed, threatened or purchased into participation in America’s drive for world hegemony that the US has no interest whatsoever in peace. Intelligent people realize that American claims to be a moral and democratic force are mere pretense behind which hides a policy of military aggression. The US, Putin said, has gone "from one conflict to another without achieving a fully-fledged solution to any of them." Putin has repeatedly stressed Russia’s peaceful intentions and desire to focus on its economy and to avoid a new arms race. In his speech on the 60th anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany, Putin said: "I am convinced that there is no alternative to our friendship and our fraternity. With our closest neighbors and all countries of the world, Russia is prepared to build a kind of relationship which is not only based on lessons of the past but is also directed into a shared future." In his 2006 state of the nation speech, Putin noted that America’s military budget is 25 times larger than Russia’s. He compared the Bush Regime to a wolf who eats whom he wants without listening. Putin is being demonized by US propagandists, because he insists upon Russia being a politically and economically independent state. http://www.lewrockwell.com/roberts/roberts195.html
