The Big Lie of NATO

Anyone who followed the 78-day war of aggression the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization waged against what was then the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
knows that NATO officials can lie, and have done so with impunity.

But it shows a special kind of arrogance when even the highest official of
the Alliance, secretary-general Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, lies without
hesitation.

At a conference today, Scheffer responded to criticism from Afghanistan,
where 90 civilians died in NATO operations just this month, with this claim:
"Let me make one point unmistakably clear - Nato has never killed and will
never intentionally kill innocent civilians."

This right here is postmodern "morality;" actions are deemed moral or
immoral based on their perpetrator. So when NATO invades a country, bombs
civilian targets, destroys utilities, targets reporters, sponsors ethnic
cleansing and destruction of cultural monuments, that's "humanitarian
intervention" and beyond reproach. But if anyone else is so much as accused
of doing any of these things, that's "genocide."

Civilians die in war. That is why starting a war was declared a supreme
international crime, back in 1945. Scheffer presides over an Alliance that
has violated that law with impunity. So yes, Jaap, you did intentionally
kill innocent civilians. That much is unmistakably clear.
