Light and Darkness: America's Reaction to 9/11"I look back into the sky and think of the squandered opportunities after 9/11. It was a chance for a new start, to unify the world, to fundamentally change our foreign policy, our treatment of the Middle East and the Muslim community. It was our chance to realize that “interests” can’t overtake human life; the safety of our children and their future depended on it." |

Beyond the "Vietnam Syndrome""Conscience is not on the military's radar screen, and it's not on our television screen. But government officials and media messages do not define the limits and possibilities of conscience. We do." |

AFL-CIO in Solidarity with Locked Out Canadian Workers"On 09/12/05, a rally was held in Washington, D.C., in solidarity with the 5,500 Canadian Media Guild (CMG) members, who have been locked out of their jobs. Linda Foley, President of the TNG-CWA; Larry Cohen of the CWA; and John Sweeney, President of the AFL-CIO, all blasted the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) for their deplorable tactics. They then presented letters of support for the CMG to an Embassy of Canada official." |

Levees Made of Lies: Rage, Grief, and the Chimera of the American Dream"This is the choice our times have given us: continued complicity in sowing the toxic winds of corporatism -- or the passion-agitated air created by the ceaseless need to struggle against exploitation." |

Could John Roberts be the Hannibal Lecter of the Court -- Intellectual, Charming, Deadly?"If John Roberts is confirmed as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, it will be a further contribution of George W. Bush to the weakening of the Republic that will go on for decades after Bush leaves office." |

Why The High Gas Prices?"...Haliburton, despite its billions of U.S. tax payer dollars and Iraqi oil resources, has failed to restore basic services to the Iraqi people. Is this the kind of company and administration the U.S. should be relying on for its Energy needs?" |

Sarai State of Affairs"...powerful, muscle-bound militaries can often lose guerrilla wars, in which politics is as important as raw military power. One of the objectives of insurgents is to induce the invader to use excessive force, thereby shifting the indigenous population’s support from the invader to the rebels. A second goal of the guerrillas is merely to keep an army in the field and launch hit-and-run tactics to convince the invading country’s populace back home that its government is incurring unacceptable casualties and doing poorly in a faraway war. In Sarai, the rebels made progress in achieving both objectives." |

"Self-Fulfilling Prophecies""The result is a US which is less safe, an increased number of people angry with the US, and control of the Iraqi Oil Fields in the hands of the people who paid for Bush’s presidency. Similar fabrications may very well be used to justify the use of Nuclear Weapons which have the added benefit of destroying any evidence." |
