British lawmaker and leading anti-war loonie campaigner George Galloway Monday expressed apprehension that US president George Bush (Junior) is not mindful about ''establishing democracies'' in the Middle East and Arab countries but is planning ''fresh attacks against Syria.,'' reports BSS. "The capitalistic imperialist forces led by the USA never took any action against the dictators in the Arab world but launched offensives against those dictators who did not obey their formula," the visiting UK lawmaker observed at a seminar at Dhaka Sheraton hotel.
The Centre for Democratic Practice (CDP) organized the seminar titled "Crisis in current politics." CDP convenor Mahbubur Rob Sadi moderated the session. Professor Muzaffar Ahmed, BNP leader Shamsul Alam Chowdhury, Awami league lawmaker Suranjit Sengupta, left leader Haider Akbar Khan Rono, CPB leader Mujahidul Islam Selim, convenor of the committee for protection of oil and gas from foreign exploiters Engineer Mohammad Shahidullah, organizer of Friends of Bangladesh Dr Mohammad Motahar, peace activist Ms Nazma Shikha and cultural activist Pijush Bandapaddya, among others, took part in the discussion.
George Galloway said the unipolar character of the new international world order has emerged as a real disaster. He noted that equilibrium of the international political system has been destabilized following the collapse of the Soviet system. The new international capitalistic order is intensifying the process of exploitation in the post-Soviet era. | George longs for the good old days when Socialists like him were relevent. Perhaps we should borrow the Doctor's Tardis and send him back. |
