Is the West Winning the War On Terrorism?  MARTIN O'MALLEY:

The White Whore House is Operating Full Tilt, Servicing Corporate America, Screwing the Rest moving environmental rules right of Nixon

This war on terrorism is bogus Michael Meacher The 9/11 attacks gave the US an ideal pretext to use force to secure its global domination
 Meacher, who served as a labour minister for six years, goes further than any other mainstream British politician in blaming the Iraq war on a US desire for domination of the Gulf and the world.

Why Bush Can't Win It could be argued now that President George W. Bush (news - web sites) cannot be re-elected -- not after screwing up most everything he touches. If you doubt that, look at the record. The poor guy is a disaster.

Images of the Horrors of War Not for the squeamish

UN gains the upper hand By Jim Lobe ... the military has long known what the Congressional Budget Office reported this week: the current troop presence in and around Iraq - about 180,000 soldiers - will be unsustainable in two months' time unless Washington recruits a bigger army or reduces its commitments elsewhere. In other words, the military concluded that unless the occupation becomes much more international, the Iraq situation spells institutional disaster.

What do liberals really want?
Jon Carroll SFGate.com Liberals support the idea that individuals are more important than corporations, that as long as there are welfare programs for corporations there should be welfare programs for individuals, that we all have a right to be safe in our homes from government and corporate spies and that corporations that break the law should be punished with the same degree of severity as individuals who break the law. The cacophonous right wants to pretend these issues are phony. The cacophonous right wants to use buzzwords and flash phrases to obscure the nature of the debate. It wants us to be ashamed of the word "liberal." Not me, baby.

We live in a small, conservative university town in West Virginia, where I am often accused of being a feminazi, or, worse still, a liberal feminist. Still, I risk a comment on the cynicism of American foreign policy. My friend, a beautiful, hyper-fit, married mother of three scolds me: Its for our freedom…. Then, channeling Fox News, she repeats the familiar anesthetizing sound bite: the U.S. has liberated the Iraqi people from tyranny. The power of political deflection at work; we sweat in the amber glow of the latest Terrorism Alert.

More likely it is because most of us served our journalistic apprenticeships as reporters covering the seamier side of our cities -- the crimes, the tenement fires, the homeless and the hungry, the underclothed and undereducated.   We reached our intellectual adulthood with daily close-ups of the inequality in a nation that was founded on the commitment to equality for all. So we are inclined to side with the powerless rather than the powerful."

It parlayed fear in the wake of terrorist attacks into the broad intrusions and civic roadblocks of the Patriot Act. It turned worries over the stalled economy into big tax cuts for the rich.

But because of our Constitution, they trade within federal rules that require worker, consumer and environmental protections that prevent a competitive race to the bottom. In contrast, the rules of the global marketplace that has emerged over the past quarter-century protect international investors while tossing the rest of society back to 19th-century-style laissez-faire.

Why Estate Taxes are NOT "Death" Taxes; a Classic Current Example from our Conservative Press By Chuck Kelly  OpEdNews.COM

When you stare into the obsidian darkness of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington DC, it stares back at you. The stone of the monument is jet black, but polished so that you must face your own reflected eyes should you dare to read the names inscribed there. You are not alone in that place.

     You stand shoulder to shoulder with the dead, and when those names shine out around and above and below the person you see in that stone, you become their graveyard. Your responsibility to those names, simply, is to remember.

     Remember what that dream, that idea that is America, is supposed to be. Never forget it. Never let your children forget. Hand it down, generation after generation, because it is the most valuable heirloom we all possess. If we lose it, we have lost everything. William Rivers Pitt

How to Talk To Your Children About Our Lying President  'Kids, lies, and President Bush' Katrina Vanden Heuvel "Think about your values as they relate to this situation. What are your family's values about telling the truth? What would you do if your child lied to you and when you scolded him or her, he or she replied: "I am not a fact-checker." Or added, "Isn't it time to move on?"

Humpty Dumpty Will Fall Howard Zinn Think of how in 1965 two-thirds of Americans supported the war in Vietnam, and a few years later two-thirds opposed the war. What happened in between? A gradual realization of having been lied to, an osmosis of the truth, of information seeping more and more through the cracks of the propaganda system. That is beginning to happen now.

A bit of historical perspective reminds us that governments that seem to be in total control--of guns, of money, of the minds of the population--find that all their power is futile against the power of an aroused citizenry. The leaders awake one morning to see a million angry people in the streets of the capital city, and they begin packing their bags and calling for a helicopter. This is not a fantasy but history. It's the history of the Philippines, Indonesia, Russia, of East Germany, Poland, Hungary, Rumania, and other places where change looked hopeless and then it happened.
