-Caveat Lector-

The New York Times, the Washington Post and the rest of the "liberal" mainstream American big media find it of no interest that Richard Perle recently declared the Iraq War to be a violation of international law.  Clearly, by these repeated acts of omission, they are implicitly providing support for Ariel Sharon's campaign to trigger World War IV and the clash of civilizations between "the West" and Israel's neighbors.

But before I start kicking sand in Arnold's face, I'd like to put in a word or two for Richard Perle, best known as a member of the U.S. Defense Policy Board. Perle did not make headlines last week when he admitted what most of us already know, that the war against Iraq is a violation of international law.

This "confession" of sorts got somewhat less attention in the news media than, say, the police booking of a Santa Barbara man-child accused of sexual molestations. It was reported once -- in London's Guardian -- and picked up by only one other publication, The Taipei Times. If it was reported elsewhere, neither Google nor LexisNexis know about it.

Speaking in London, Perle said, "International law . . . would have required us to leave Saddam Hussein alone."

And: "International law stood in the way of doing the right thing."

I don't want to dwell on this subject -- you can click on the Guardian article yourself -- but I just felt Perle's admission should be reported somewhere in the American press, if only in one little online column.
