16. You mean 'from the defenders of the Rule of Law and the rights

of other countries to their sovereignty.

Looks like the UN agrees with Chavez. Demands are now being made by the International Law Community for an investigation into what appears to be a grotesque violation of the Geneva Conventions on the video of Gadaffi's death.

And much as this will disappoint you, but apparently Hugo is correct. All across the ME Gadaffi is apparently now being called a martyr and a hero with demonstrations condemning what is being called 'a murder of the leader of a sovereign state'.

Other calls by Human Rights Organizations for investigations into the murder of Black Africans and the torture and murder of POWs by those the Western Imperial Powers are now calling new allies. The new allies starting out with the reputation of war crimes and brutality by a majority of the people of the world. Yes, Hugo sadly, appears to be correct.

I am glad to see today that the World's Civilized people were horrified by what they witnessed yesterday and are calling for accountability for those involved. That the World, other than a few people in the US, condemns the Violations of the Geneva Conventions witnessed in that video which horrified most civilized human beings, but was sadly cheered for by the usual minority regardless of the laws that were intended to keep this world a civilized place for all people.

It's going to be very difficult for the West to recognize these people as their allies, and continue to claim they respect the rule of law. But it is heartening to see that the views reflected here by some yesterday, are very much in the minority. Chavez represents the majority on that grotesque display of brutality by our new allies.
