As many military experts have noted, Iraq is not precisely Vietnam. But there are significant similarities. Clearly, some people did not learn from it. populist Wed, 21 Mar 2007 18:46:24 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/shock_and_awe_diplomacy_confronts_american_exceptionalism Down to the nitty-gritty, American exceptionalism, whether a few generations ago or today, is not an iota different from what European imperialism was centuries past. And the idea that America sets the norm for human rights behavior, or even adheres to it, has proved to be presently, if not always, wrong. populist Tue, 03 Oct 2006 04:38:55 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/a_global_village_or_a_ghettoized_planet Information and disinformation are being stored in incalculable zeroes and ones, promising much confusion and conflict for later generations. In this age, we are developing separate histories, potent and unparalleled, because we have the repositories for them. populist Fri, 03 Nov 2006 00:27:43 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/a_prescription_for_peace Rather than allowing ourselves to be filled with fear, the fear of loosing our jobs, afraid that someone might be a bit upset by what we say or do; let's reverse course.

And in the United States it appears to reign supreme. That is exactly why we seem to be content. as if Tweedledee and Tweedledum truly represented both party in power and opposition; any other ideas being frowned upon. populist Fri, 23 Feb 2007 20:07:55 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/a_viable_alternative_to_the_surge The problem isn't a lack of alternatives to expanding this war. It's finding the political courage to stand up to entrenched corporate interests and their toadies in government, both here and abroad, who have a stake in our continued commitment. populist Mon, 22 Jan 2007 19:04:33 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/afghanistan_the_other_lost_war The US war on Afghanistan was planned well in advance (at least a year or more) of 9/11 - which provided the claimed justification for it. It was part of the US strategic plan to control the vast oil and gas resources of Central Asia that Zbigniew Brzezinski under President Carter explained the importance of in his 1997 book The Grand Chessboard. populist Thu, 12 Oct 2006 05:15:48 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/an_explosively_penetrated_quagmire The coalition of the willing is paving way for the unilateralism of the brave. populist Sat, 10 Mar 2007 18:42:27 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/an_open_letter_to_bill_moyers_and_howard_zinn So we want to get out of this mess, but how? It's not going to happen through legislation from a branch controlled by special interests. Only an amendment to the Constitution can save us now. Only a 28th Amendment to the Constitution has the political might to break the institutionalized corruption of the status quo. populist Mon, 08 Jan 2007 18:48:44 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/an_urgent_task_for_the_new_congress what could be more important than Congress fulfilling its responsibilities in dealing with very serious questions that go to the heart of our Constitution, laws, our democracy and the honor of the United States of America? populist Wed, 25 Oct 2006 05:01:52 GMT
