Sa Ibayong Dagat:
�Outposts of tyranny�and other figments of Bush's imagination

Basahin ang artikulong ito sa Pilipino

The Bush regime comes up with all sorts of labels for states that refuse to yield to US imperialist dictates. "Outposts of tyranny" is its latest invention, gathering Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Belarus, Burma and Zimbabwe under the category.

North Korea has recently withdrawn from negotiations on its nuclear program because of the US' arrogant stance. It has also openly admitted to possessing nuclear weapons that it may use in the event of a US invasion.

The US is also stepping up its pressure on Syria. Albeit implicitly, the US blames Syria for the February 15 assassination of former Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri. It has since recalled its ambassador to Syria.

The US is also bullying Venezuela over the country's pending purchase of 100,000 automatic rifles and 40 military helicopters from Russia, claiming that Venezuela intends to use them to support revolution in neighboring Colombia.

Meanwhile, the US has also been picking on China for its military buildup, calling it a threat to US interests in Asia.

The US will never run out of excuses in its bid to eliminate all possible barriers to its domination of the world. When it comes to pretexts, Bush has a prolific imagination.
