DEATH BY GOVERNMENT: GENOCIDE AND MASS MURDER

All told, governments killed more than 262 million people in the 20th century outside of wars, according to University of Hawaii political science professor R.J. Rummel. Just to give perspective on this incredible murder by government, if all these bodies were laid head to toe, with the average height being 5', then they would circle the earth ten times. Also, this democide murdered 6 times more people than died in combat in all the foreign and internal wars of the century. Finally, given popular estimates of the dead in a major nuclear war, this total democide is as though such a war did occur, but with its dead spread over a century

Barack Obama, US president, sought on Tuesday to break an impasse that has created confusion over command of the attack on Libya.

Mr Obama, under domestic political pressure to hand over the current US command, phoned David Cameron, the British prime minister, and Nicolas Sarkozy, French president, from Air Force One during his trip to South America.

Nato role unsettles Ankara’s ambitions - Mar-22

France has resisted making the mission a Nato one, citing fears it would alienate Arab countries, while US and UK diplomats say the alliance is the obvious choice to manage the multinational coalition.

The emerging deal would use Nato assets for command and control but not flag the mission as a Nato one. “The issue is not between us three at this stage,” said a French official, referring to London, Paris and Washington.

As Muammer Gaddafi’s forces pressed ahead with attacks on the rebel-held towns of Misurata and Zintan, British officials indicated that efforts were being made to structure command and control along the lines of the International Security Assistance Force that operates in Afghanistan.

Mr Obama earlier spoke to Reçep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey’s prime minister, who had previously expressed reservations about Nato’s role.

“People seem to be coalescing around the idea of an Isaf-like command and control structure for Libya,” said a senior British diplomat, after a meeting of Nato ambassadors at the alliance’s headquarters in Brussels. The Isaf mission is largely spearheaded by Nato and uses Nato’s planning and intervention capabilities. But Isaf also formally engages a range of countries outside the western alliance which are involved in the fight against the Taliban.

Ben Rhodes, US deputy national security adviser, said Mr Obama, Mr Sarkozy and Mr Cameron had agreed “Nato should play a key role in the command structure going forward”, although he noted that the coalition would include countries that are not part of Nato, such as Qatar, which is expected to deploy aircraft above Libya this weekend.

A senior Turkish diplomat said that Ankara would “probably go along” with the emerging deal, but wanted more clarity on “the end game” and goals of the mission, stressing the importance of maintaining Arab support.

Alain Juppé, French foreign minister, said the Libya operation could not be “a Nato operation” because of non-Nato countries’ involvement. He added that the coalition would use Nato’s “planning and intervention capabilities”.

Mr Juppé said he was proposing that a “political steering body” of foreign ministers of countries participating in the coalition and the Arab League should meet in the next few days in Brussels, London or Paris, and meet regularly.

Adm William Fallon, a former head of US central command, told the Financial Times that the problem was primarily a political rather than a military one, since the US and its allies had already shattered Col Gaddafi’s air defences and helped protect Benghazi.

“Now that we’ve decided to sign up to this no-fly zone, we had better be prepared to do this because these zones have a tendency to keep on going,” he said. “I was party to setting the no-fly zone in Iraq [in 1991]: who would have thought that thing would have been going a decade later, at staggering expense?”
