In reply to “No Exit in the Persian Gulf?” by Michael T. Klare and Tom Englehardt, 02/01/12:

Excellent article.

This statement — “It’s soon to be dispatched to somewhere in or near the Persian Gulf to be a floating base for Navy SEAL covert actions of unspecified sorts” — has many possibilities. The killers of Osama, floating at leisure in the Persian gulf. There are a lot of other groups in the Persian Gulf, other than Iran, that would like to see that base sink.

The USA seems a bit over confident on its future in the Middle East.

In reply to “The Greatest Threat,” by Justin Raimondo, 01/27/12:

Let’s see if I understand this: Governments borrow imaginary money from the central banksters, guaranteeing repayment in kind with interest or by default by forking over title to property owned by the citizenry. So what is the problem? Just repay the loans with imaginary money and send the banksters packing. To prevent this happening again, fiat currency would go with the banksters and honest money would be adopted, perhaps digital gold.

In reply to “Democratization: Indigenous Beats Imported,” by Ivan Eland, 01/25/12:

The writer was right about the indigenous revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt, but wrong about Libya. The revolution in Libya was started by the Libyan people and no foreign forces were deployed. I would like to remind the writer that Revolutions take years to achieve the desired democratic outcome — remember the French Revolution. The situation in Libya will improve in a remarkably short time despite yours and Antiwar.com['s] predictions.

Remember this a year from now.

Finally, am a fan of Antiwar.com and I read many of your site’s articles for years and appreciate your contribution to educate the public and promote peace.
