Hell hath no fury like an imperialist scorned by Chavez

David Guyatt Wrote:Speaking of bias - aka Jungian "projection" of western values elsewhere in the world while totally ignoring its own corrupt inhumanity, I have a bitch to make about the latest arrest warrant issued by the International Court against the Sudanese President, Omar Hassan al-Bashir for a "five year campaign of violence in Dafur" (see: http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/africa/03/...r.charges/)

Quote:Bashir is charged with seven counts of crimes against humanity and war crimes. The warrant does not mention genocide, but the court may issue an amended warrant to include that charge later, ICC spokeswoman Laurence Blairon said.

I'm no friend of al-Bashir, but what the fuck are we doing here? Where's the balance? Is it just assumed that we in the west automatically hold the moral high ground; that our poo smells better than anyone else and that we don't, therefore, have to look at our own acts of war and crimes against humanity?

Go ahead and arrest al-Bashir, but while you're at it arrest former President george Bush on exactly the same charges. And Vice President Dick Cheney.

And when those two bastards are behind bars, then throw scent over the cloying pong of perpetual western injustice.

Please don't forget Tony the Blair.:marchmellow:
