Now we have the expert opinions of two
psychologists, Roger Buck and Dr Nick Medvecky. However, coming to the
theme from a different angle, I’ll say that I have followed the politics
of American presidents from the time of Eisenhower onwards. How do I
see Obama? Well, Obama is not any exception to the general rule of
pro-imperialism polices that his predecessors have followed. He has
closely followed in the footsteps of George W. Bush, the war criminal
and vicious murderer of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and Afghans.
Obama has continued the policies of Bush because the superpower he leads
is based on the assertion of American military power and domination.
Like his predecessors Bush or Nixon, etc., his violations of
international laws and international norms, the killing of foreign
people with impunity, having no regard to international public opinion
are very serious matters.
However, the only ‘justification’ the
American rulers can resort to is their internalized holy mantra of
‘American exceptionalism’. What this means is this: American rulers can
do whatever they want without being accountable to any authority in the
world. We should keep in mind when Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize
in 2009 in Oslo, he used the occasion to tell the world that he would
carry on wars! He used his high-sounding nonsensical rhetoric to defend
wars to the amazement of millions around the world. His warmongering and
aggressive polices he has pursued since then show he had literally
meant what he said.
