Nobel Prize for Al Gore: "Old Europe" Fires Back at the Bush Administration,
by Patrick Martin.
Good points about the politics of the selection, its nature as a shot across
the bow of American capital by Europe's ruling elite, worried about the
destablizing nature of US policies. And lots of good reminders about Gore,
one of only 10 Demo senators to approve Gulf War I (when the Demos
controlled Congress), who as Vice President was co-perp with Bill Clinton in
a series of murderous policies. Points about his film (and his record as an
"activist") in failing to advocate for anything which will actually result
in at least mitigation of global warming, with links, though the author
misses the fact that Gore cleansed the US delegation to Kyoto of advocates
in favor of business types, forced "compromises" to the Accord which
basically made it a toothless piece of rhetoric.
But more basically, the author seems to think that "socialist" manangement
can make it possible to develop alternative fuels and run the industrial
apparatus we have, but in a good way. That is a fundamental error, the
industrial collosus is not sustainable, period, we need to live in a
different way.
