[Unclaimed Territory - by Glenn Greenwald] Embrace the anger - It's not 1972 anymore: Also: I don't see where any one has brought it up so far, but one (yet another) flaw in Richard Cohen's deeply flawed electoral analysis about Nixon and "angry" antiwar activists - is that by 1972, President Nixon had, to all intents and purposes, wound down the war in Vietnam - or at least the part of it that produced US casualties: the anti-war activism that captured the Democratic nominating process in 1972 and put up an avowed anti-war candidate for President failed as much for its percieved irrelevance as for its " angry radical" disconnects: in 1972 the Democratic candidate was, fundamentally, running on yesterday's issues - in addition to all the other "counter-cultural" baggage. Not sure if the analogy is quite relevant to today's situation (not that that would ever stop commenters!)

Rumsfeld: What We’ve ...: Rumsfeld has put the Pentagon at the mercy of his ego, his cold warrior’s view of the world and his unrealistic confidence in technology to replace manpower. As a result, the Army finds itself severely undermanned ”” cut to 10 active divisions but asked by the administration to support a foreign policy that requires at least 12 or 14.”
[Back-to-iraq.com] Back to Iraq 3.0: Options in Fallujah and about those elections...: Option 3: Iraq suffers a massive civil war in which the majority of the population is annihilated, including the majority or entirety of the Iraqi Kurds and Assyrians - the kind of war which would make Pol Pot look like a saint, Hitler a humanitarian, and the Rwanda/Burundi conflicts little more than a heated argument.

When the English producers denounced the decision by the New York Theatre Workshop as "censorship" and withdrew the show, even the mainstream media could not ignore the implications.
