Forum Post Howe: All that is old is new

I note that "What the US Should Do" in Syria is exactly what the US should have done before, and before, and before that. And Obama should have said that the US wouldn't be bamboozled into anything (and meant it) before he was bamboo...

Once I put forth a question that always lingers in the background to Howard Zinn.  We were not close friends, but Howard and I would correspond occasionally.  He did this to countless people, which was amazing and tells a lot about the m...

On Al Jazeera English this morning there was a program covering inconvenient facts about current Iraq, facts air-brushed out of dominant Wetsern media narrative. There are approximately 800,000 orphans in Iraq. Many are homeless or living in pre...

Good article, of course.  But, I have read greater numbers of killed and injured, and I think Bill is under-counting. Also, we have to consider two invasions and the total disruption of people's lives and the destruction of Iraq, Afghani...

Of course Mr. Goodrich's point is well taken.  For many, the training and education system does not prepare us for the horror of history, our own.  And, to admit somehting of this reality is shocking and sometimes overwhelming, it is...

Well, not exactly uncounted, untalked about, unreported.  From the first invasion of the U.S. until today there are at least 2 million dead in Iraq.  At least an equal number of internal refugees, again, at least at equal number who have...

True....well, perhaps only partially. We can expect Obama's and future administrations never to tire of "looking back" with venomous fury at Bradley Manning's "egregious crime" of (allegedly) revealing to the world Washington's business-as-usual ...
