Shit Xel, nice article.  Being a libertarian, I prefer LRC to counterpunch, but Paul Craig Roberts is a good author.  I forwarded this around.  Props.  And by the way, you might like this website if you like counterpunch (it is from a more libertarian perspective).  Paul Craig Roberts writes here as well as other people you might know of such as Ron Paul.
