[Marxism] Tariq Ali

[abu hartal <abuhartal@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Don't see how you are speaking to the fact that there was every sign that 
Milosevic intended to step up the campaign to drive Albanians from their homes 
before the bombing began and the bombing only accelerated what was already 
clearly in place. Nor does Ali address what the trajectory of Macedonia would 
have been. 
This does not justify the unconscionable bombing (the effects on minorities 
were horrifying indeed), but the situation was much more difficult than Tariq 
Ali and Edward Herman are letting on.
Not justifying human rights imperiaism, though I do not rule out the use of 
force to stop genocide. Ali made the argument that had NLR supported even in 
some qualified way the use of force against Milosevic, it would have been 
disarmed before Bush's aggression. I am saying that this argument does not 
follow.
These posts are not written by who you think is writing them as Doug Henwood 
now knows. Huge career issues are indeed at stake.
