Inventing an Iranian Threat (tags)
Iran
The trinity of themes "Last Hope-Noble Victory-Disgraceful Defeat" has been the core of the US-American state religion, whether called the Monroe Doctrine, Cold War or War against Terror. A multipolar world with many civilizations is the best hope for the future.

Neocon Chickenhawks: A Small Tightly-Knit Clan Part 2 (tags)
This list of intricate, overlapping connections is hardly exhaustive or perhaps even surprising. But it helps reveal an important fact. Contrary to appearances, the neocons do not constitute a powerful mass political movement. They are instead a small, tightly-knit clan whose incestuous familial and personal connections, both within and outside the Bush administration, have allowed them grab control of the future of American foreign policy.

Rage. Mistrust. Hatred. Fear. Uncle Sam's enemies within (tags)
A few things have happened recently that show just how powerful -- and, perhaps, unstoppable -- is the march of the right-wing machine in the US. This month the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), a right-wing think tank umbilically tied to the Bush administration, declared open warfare on non-governmental organisations (NGOs) deemed too left-wing and set up an organisation called NGOWatch to monitor these liberal pressure groups.

Our Brave Soldiers Fight Ignoble Wars for Cowards (tags)
Our dead young American soldiers are fighting for some very wealthy individuals who think they know how to rule the world. These power mongers use their wealth to create policy and their policy to create more wealth. Their policy is brutal. They think nothing of killing 10,000 innocent civilians (almost entirely Muslim) and destroying their lands with the most lethal of weapons of mass destruction so that they can exploit their natural resources and gain a stronghold in the Middle East by establishing a permanent military presence in Iraq and Afghanistan- in the heart of Islam, oil and five of the worlds nuclear nations.

The Lie Of The U.S. Military (tags)
I get this a lot: Hey Mark, you know what you should do, you pathetic piece of liberal S.F. scum? You should kneel down right now and thank our angry God there's a hard-ass non-pussified non-wimpy U.S. military out there protecting your pathetic little butt, baby. Isn't that thoughtful?

Second Lady's "Educational" Foundation Takes Aim At Academia For Dissent (tags)
If W.H. Auden were around today, Lynne Cheney's powerhouse brain police, the American Council of Trustees and Alumni, would have nailed him in a new report as part of the "BLAME AMERICA FIRST" for these lines from his poem "September 1, 1939": I and the public know / What all schoolchildren learn: Those to whom evil is done / Do evil in return. "In order to save Western Civilization, it was necessary to destroy it."
Lynne Cheney's Thought Police Report--The Unsanitized Version (tags)
The original version of "Defending Civilization: How Our Universities Are Failing America, and What Can Be Done About It," a report from the American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA), founded in 1995 by Lynne Cheney and Senator Joseph Lieberman. This version names names, in good ol' Joe McCarthy style. It has since been pulled from ACTA's website.
Lynne Cheney's Campus Crusade (tags)
Campus protests against the war on terrorism are bothering the heck out of the American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA), founded in 1995 by Lynne Cheney and Connecticut Senator Joseph Lieberman. ACTA wants conservative trustees and alumni to exercise a greater say over the entire university governance process, and it recently published an incendiary report claiming that "colleges and university faculty have been the weak link in America's response to the attack" of September 11.
