The US vetoed a UN Security Council resolution calling on governments to observe international law. After deliberately targeting the civilian public health infrastructure(建筑基础), the US military imposes a continuing economic blockade on Iraq which has directly resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of children. The US government is the primary financier and arms supplier for the decade-long Israeli war against the entire Palestinian people. The US armed forces and US-organized and/or US-financed ally or proxy forces have killed millions upon millions of civilians since the end of World War II. This is the not-so-hidden meaning of the Stars and Stripes, as the vast majority of people around the world understand it.
Now the US government has begun what it bills as an open-ended "War on Terrorism" , which conveniently ignores the fact that in the late twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century it is the United States of America that, by its own definition, is the most prolific terrorist force in the world. At the same time US leaders are choosing to target whichever individuals, organizations, regimes and/or nation-states — among the wide array of opponents of US policies — are deemed most convenient this week, leaving the rest for next week next year or the next decade. This is, of course, a
recipe
for a perpetual war, which is as well understood by President Bush and the other architects of the "New World Order" , as it was by the architects of a similar project of world empire that was proudly proclaimed the Third Reich(希特勒的第三帝国), under a flag with a similarly not-so-hidden meaning.
Perpetual war serves a number of purposes for the present administration. It is under wartime conditions that the US will, at least initially, face the least resistance as it finishes the now over two century-long processes of gutting the Bill of Rights and voiding the inconvenient parts of the US Constitution. It is under conditions of war that the campaign to defeat the anti-globalization movement can be fought with increasingly militant and dirty tactics. It is under wartime conditions that all opponents of US policies anywhere in the world, including within the US itself, can be most easily labeled "terrorist", at the same time that the mass media can be most easily mobilized as a total propaganda machine. And it is under conditions of war that the arms production, oil production and military technology corporations that funded President Bush’s election by the Supreme Court will be most handsomely rewarded without too many questions ever being asked. And best of all, wartime conditions lend themselves to the easy mobilization of xenophobic, politically reactionary, flagwaving patriotism.
According to the passage, the purpose of the US veto against a UN Security Council resolution calling on governments to observe international law is______.
选项
A、to target whichever opponents of US policies in the world
B、to impose a continuing economic blockade on Iraq
C、to finance and supply arms for the Israeli war against Palestine
D、to target the civilian public health infrastructure
答案
A
解析
逻辑推断题。文章开头点明作者写这篇文章的缘由:美国否决UN Security Council要求各国政府遵守国际法的决议。紧接着作者历数美国军队及其盟友在世界许多地区燃起战火,美国的这些行径完全违反了国际法。第二段开头的Now一词引出美国新近发动的所谓无限期“War onTerrorism”,作者在这里对War on Terrorism的实质做出剖析:美国可以随心所欲地target任何与其opponents的国家。故答案为A。选项B、C、D都是美国对其攻击目标所采用的具体手段,故均不足以用来定义美国否决安理会决议的目的。
