That’s the excuse that works for George W. Bush to rationalize his assaults on the rule of law, from arbitrary arrest to torture.

For this he deserves kudos. Though at this point in the energy and emissions narrative it is hardly news to say that if India and China were to consume like North America we would fry the planet Sri Lanka: An Arms Embargo www.countercurrents.org/sinnathurai151107.htm There is almost an out cry against Sri Lanka to stop the un-declared war Against the Tamils.
