Robert ScheerRobert Scheer, a University of Southern California professor and Los Angeles Times commentator, is a politically liberal writer who opposes George W. Bush's policy on Iraq. He wrote in Salon.com, - "It takes stunning arrogance for a president to invade an oil-rich, politically strategic country on the basis of demonstrable lies, put his favorite companies in control of its economic future, create a puppet regime to do his bidding, and then claim that this is all a bold exercise in spreading democracy."
Scheer joins such foreign policy critics as Noam Chomsky in his claim that the US is not the leader of the free world but its worst enemy: - "When people in fledgling democracies vote against U.S. interests, the CIA steps in."
In July of 1970, Scheer was part of a Black Panther Party delegation invited by Kim Jong Il to North Korea. The purpose of the delegation was to "express solidarity with the struggles of the Korean" and to "bring back to Babylon information about their communist society and their fight against U.S. imperialism". http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/Printable.asp?ID=7660 See: History of Chile, Salvador Allende External links *Left, Right & Center, a weekly radio panel show featuring Scheer and Arianna Huffington
