I am surprised soldiers don't even the score at a later time since they are trained to be warriors like the Soldier's Creed demands these days.  Besides you would have to know these evil people pretty well and it would be easy to figu...

The price we pay for dallying in the pornography of violence is too steep.  What exactly does it mean to lose our humanity for I suspect that we have?  I would read this article to my grandchildren except that they're too young to be...

Forum Post Crombie: Now What?

A discouragingly lucid piece. The childish question that many of us have continued to ask over the past few years has always been: "How can we tell when we've won?"  No good answer has been forthcoming. That being so, the new...

This is an  excellent article - "After 9/11, Was War the Only Option" -   by Noam Chomsky in which he is very wise to point out that "The jihadi movement, much of it highly critical of Bin Ladin, could have been under...

This is an interesting article, but I was left with a bit of an unsated appetite. There is much in Michael Alberts' questions that is left unanswered. For instance, when Albert asks rationality and irrationality are, the answer is entirely abo...

Forum Post, September, 19 2011 Rick New

Perhaps, since we are speaking of irrationality, it might be relevant to add a note here about some insights emerging from the field of neuroscience.  For those interested see Sam Harris on "We are Lost in Thought". from ...

A slight oversight or something: the "city on a hill" is from the New Testament (Matthew 5:14). Winthrop saw "us" as "the light of the world."

This commentary needs editing, even if it is not supposed to be… Chomsky too often strays from the questions posed. It's as if in his encyclopedic brain he has so much information available that he loses the essential threads of the arg...

Forum Post, September, 09 2011 Joseph Waters

Sometimes offense is the best defense. Should the poor bastards just continuously wait around for warplanes to come and drop bombs on them, when they have absolutely no way of defending against that kind of attack? Anyway, I have a hard time und...

"will you defend yourself and your comrades against the reaction? Even with lethal force?" Self-defense is a legitimate position. But the 9/11 terrorist attacks had nothing to do with self-defense, for reasons mentioned above.

The plan is very simple. Educate and organize the international Working Class. A radical labor movement is at the heart of this plan, but the Working Class should be organized in every sphere of their lives – not just at the workplace. The...

You mention a "plan" to overthrow the capitalist order, which I presume relies heavily on violence and the principles you specified ("my enemy's enemy is my friend" and "use ANY means necessary"). Then you admit t...

Lost to what? Your smug, self-satisfied, purely academic, armchair version of Socialism? I guess you think the thousands of Palestinians and other Arabs (even old ladies, I seem to remember) in the middle east who were cheering when the twin tow...

A monster am I? I suppose you're one of those holier-than-thou, "nonviolent" types. Am I right? What's your plan to overthrow the global capitalist order? Perhaps you are comfortable sitting on your high horse preaching "non...

Quick response to the "legitimate retaliation" claim. Predictable consequences should be taken into account when considering what qualifies as a "legitimate" course of action. Bin Laden's goal was to draw the U.S. into expe...

We know that there is only one big story of 9/11, which the United States government presented and most of the people around the world accepted it as true. However, there were some who had some minor  reservations about the details but they...
