Militant Humanitarianism

Too many observers overlook the positive effects of militant social work. Hezbollah has made gains in Lebanon by providing social services and by funding worthwhile projects in the localities.

The Sadrists in Iraq are providing the bulk of services including those to the poorest of the poor. Seventy percent of Iraqis back Muqtada al Sadr's effort to oust the Americans. If they had any brains, they would leave Iraq quickly and silently.

Leaders such as the ones in Hamas have no program except to steal from their countrymen. The Palestinians would do well to organize to build positive assets and institutions towards the betterment of everyone.

The Revolution Comes From the Right

In effect, NSPD 51 outlines the final touches to the coup d'etat.The dictator will run local, state and federal governments.
Rowdies, freethinkers and Constitutionalists will sit in detention camps.
The power elite can sell the country to the oriental tiger economies, convert their winnings to Euros and wallow in continental splendor. Those Americans who want to eat can work for coolie wages.
The progressives believe they can derail this outcome by electing Barack or Hillary in November.
Can anybody tell me how we can stop Martial Law that would suspend the elections?
