Activism
Now!!!
The
environment is ripe: the rhetoric of the administration
screams for war while the media appears to be the government's....
female dog. What to do about it....
Today's
college students -- whose generation would fight the war
-- have said nothing.
I
hope that I have said "something" during
my six weeks here at Antiwar.com. Although today is my
last day working here in California, I
intend to continue to be one of those college students
saying something - loudly.
No need to yell
Secretary
Rumsfeld insists that opposition to war can be ignored:
"Leaders
have to make decisions that may be close calls,"
Mr. Rumsfeld said. "That's what they do."
And I forget, how do leaders become leaders? Divine right,
perhaps?
Neocon orgy
I apologize for the visual, but it appears that all
the "experts," policy makers
and board members who are crying for war also
lie in the same bed. Perle, Rubin, Mylroie, AEI, NRO,
Washington Institute and 'Memri' constitute just a small
portion of the neocons who hoard money, politicians' ears
and newsprint. Although Sec.
Rumsfeld isn't listening to opposition, we now know
who he is listening to.
New
Magazine for an historic ideology
The cries for war on the Right may now need to yell a
little louder: the
American Conservative is coming in September. Scott
McConnell writes of the new antiwar conservative paper
edited by Pat Buchanan and Taki. Look out neocons, the
Old Right is back!
Where'd
ya go?
Lost in a sea of Saddam threats, the name Osama Bin Laden
is rarely heard from the administration. Michael
Sherry, a historian at Northwestern University in Chicago
explains:
"Every time bin Laden is mentioned, it's a reminder
that they don't have a clue and it's a reminder of their
failure to fulfill their own stated war aims and it's
a reminder that the war on terrorism has become directionless
and not very effective."
Although Bush
never learned any history at Yale, he may have caught
a lecture or two in "Politics and Diversion."
The
chicken or the egg?
Saudi
Arabians investors have pulled $200 billion out of their
American investments.
This begs the question: did the LaRouche
Power Point piss them off, forcing the Saudis to take
the money? Or, was the Power Point and Saudi bashing in
response to the bank withdrawals: the neocons and their
banker buddies fighting back in what way they can?
