For 67 years the US has pursued its own interests at the expense of global justice – no wonder people are sceptical now, writes George Monbiot.
You could almost pity these people. For 67 years successive US governments have resisted calls to reform the UN security council. They’ve defended a system which grants five nations a veto over world affairs, reducing all others to impotent spectators. They have abused the powers and trust with which they have been vested. They have collaborated with the other four permanent members (the UK, Russia, China and France) in a colonial carve-up, through which these nations can pursue their own corrupt interests at the expense of peace and global justice.

To be accurate, you should say for 65 years high caste Tamil racist leaders have pursued a racist agenda, and have mislead generations of ordinary Tamils, causing death and destruction! They are onto it again! When will they ever learn?

Every thing has an END. There is nothing Permanent in this world. So will be the Duplicity of the West and the Americans. As I ave said before although America has been paying Lip Service to Human Rights through Organizations as the UN, they have helped their Brief carriers as MR, for them to freely violate Human Rights, because they themselves have violated Human Rights the world over. I only hope the whole damn thing gets exposed soon for the world to be a safer place for mankind to live peacefully and the scoundrels to be hounded out.
