[news] The mask of altruism disguising a colonial war

[Resist!ca]

The Guardian August 2, 2004 by John Laughland Mr Blair has invoked moral 
necessity for every one of the five wars he has fought.... The bombing campaign 
against Iraq in December 1998, the 74-day bombardment of Yugoslavia in 1999, 
the intervention in Sierra Leone in the spring of 2000, the attack on 
Afghanistan in October 2001, and the Iraq war last March were all justified 
with the bright certainties which shone from the prime minister's eyes. Blair 
even defended Bill Clinton's attack on the al-Shifa pharmaceuticals factory in 
Sudan in August 1998, on the entirely bogus grounds that it was really 
manufacturing anthrax instead of aspirin.
