Despite the United States’ strong legal tradition and its key role in the development of international humanitarian law and related international legal constructs, and despite the fact that the ICJ has more often than not ruled in favor of the United States and its allies, recent decades have shown increasing hostility toward any legal constraints upon U.S. foreign policy. |

Of course, he's not the first bully boy to be embraced by over-confident US leaders or an obsequious press corps. Nicaragua's Somoza, Zaire's Mobutu, Iran's Shah, the Philippines' Marcos, and many more have received similar kid glove treatment over the years. |

i am working in my office,
patiently,
going through the past,
the impulses, the accumulation,
i come across Rumi,
"the mother and father are your attachment
to beliefs and blood ties
and desires and comforting habits.
"Don't listen to them!
They seem to protect,
but they imprison.
"They are your worst enemies.
They make you afraid
of living in emptiness."
the emptiness of words
on paper
the revolutionary dream of mind,
under which
like adam,
like kathy boudin,
i "wanted to be reverent!"
i twist in the longing,
bolt from regret,
breathe into the possibility,
of witnessing,
forgiving,
continuing.
** kathy boudin was a lawyer's daughter, a Weatherman; unlucky, unlike bernadine dohrn and bill ayers, she participated in a heist, that became a murder, and has been imprisoned since 1984 despite the depth of her gentleness, and profound regret. |
