In two separate articles published on the same day (August 24, 2000) we are able to see the duplicity and hypocrisy of U.S. policy as it plays with the lives of expendable pawns, the Kurds. An article titled "US WARNS OF MILITARY OPTION AGAINST IRAQ," published in the Middle East Newsline on August 24, 2000, states: State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said the key to US military action is whether President Saddam Hussein rebuilds his arsenal of nonconventional weapons. "If he reconstitutes his programs for weapons of mass destruction, if he threatens his neighbors, threatens US forces or moves against the Kurds, we have a credible force in the region and we are prepared to act at an appropriate time and place of our choosing as necessary," Boucher said. Here we have State Department spokesman Richard Boucher telling us that the US is prepared to take military action if Iraq "moves against the Kurds." Now let's take a look at another article titled "Cross-border raids against terrorists justified: US," and published in the Times of India, on the same date, August 24, 2000. The article states: Answering a question on the periodic cross-border raids against Kurds by Turkey carried out on Iraqi territory on the grounds that Iraq-based terrorists strike at Turkey, State Department Spokesman Richard Boucher said, "In general, we support Turkey's right to defend itself against terrorism as long as the cross- border activities are limited in scope and duration and they scrupulously observe the rights of civilians in the area." Notice that the very same State Department Spokesman, Richard Boucher, supports Turkey's right to kill Kurds; and not just within Turkey, but also within Iraq. Here is a summary of US policy as concerns the Kurdish population of Northern Iraq and Turkey: Iraq will be bombed by the US if it takes military action against Kurdish "freedom-fighters" on Iraqi territory. If, on the other hand, it is Turkey doing the killing of Kurdish "terrorists" on Iraqi territory, the US supports Turkey's right to do so. Not only does the US support Turkey's right, it has provided Turkey with the equipment and logistical support to kill over 30,000 Kurds in 10 years and displace millions more � were this Kosovo we would be hearing words like "genocide" and "ethnic cleansing." You see, to kill Kurds, all you need is the proper hunting license. In this case that license is a perk of NATO membership.

If the Turks act, we defer the New Ottomans.

His task is to demonstrate repeatedly and in depth that not only the emperor but even the "democratic" State has no clothes; that all governments subsist by exploitive rule over the public; and that such rule is the reverse of objective necessity. He strives to show that the existence of taxation and the State necessarily sets up a class division between the exploiting rulers and the exploited ruled. He seeks to show that the task of the court intellectuals who have always supported the State has ever been to weave mystification in order to induce the public to accept State rule and that these intellectuals obtain, in return, a share in the power and pelf extracted by the rulers from their deluded subjects.
