Fresh brain fart from world's greatest intellectual smells suspiciously like last one

You don’t have to work the google button very hard to find copious examples of the great BHL’s ruminations on the need for regime change in Syria, and before that, Libya. In fact, he was advocating regime change in Syria even before the Coalition of the Self-Righteous was done murdering Gaddafi.

You’d think that the state of affairs in those two countries six years later would cast doubt on Mr. Levy’s skills as a prognosticator, but apparently not. Here he is in my Globe and Mail today.

Yes, “we” have a duty to bring the gift of regime change to yet another country that’s done absolutely nothing to threaten “us,” but happens to be on Washington’s shit-list, Venezuela.

Imperial meddling isn’t just something we should do because we’re militarily stronger and will get away with it. No, “we have a duty.” Accordingly, Mr. Levy provides a long list of prescriptions for what the UN should do, what Washington and London and Paris should do, etc.

What is truly astonishing is even as his counsel has contributed to the destruction of the wealthiest country in Africa and the last secular Arab society in the Middle East, and created the worst refugee crisis in the modern era, reputable media outlets continue to offer him a platform to bray for more of the same.
