Why this concentration now?"

The Power of Narrative
by Arthur Silber

05/02/07

One might very legitimately wonder exactly why so many liberals and progressives disapproved so vehemently of McCain’s performance. After all, the leading Democratic presidential candidates offer the identical prescription for Iran, and their overall foreign policy objectives are just as deplorable as McCain’s. Ah, but they don’t sing it. I guess these critics don’t like music, or at least that particular song. They want their plans for Armageddon provided straight. As for me, if the world is going to be altered fundamentally, I’d just as soon have a song first, as minimal as its musical value might be in this instance. Make no mistake: there is no significant difference whatsoever between McCain’s tuneful ‘Bomb Iran’ and, as two prime examples, what Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have to offer...

In These Times
by William D. Hartung & Frida Berrigan

04/30/07

Only days before the fifth anniversary of September 11, President George W. Bush addressed military officers in Washington to warn that nuclear-armed terrorists could ‘blackmail the free world and spread their ideologies of hate and raise a moral threat to America.’ This alarmist vision was accompanied by the White House’s release of ‘A National Strategy for Combating Terrorism,’ which painted a picture of a ‘troubling potential WMD terrorism nexus emanating from Tehran.’ The administration is building the case for war against Iran — a job made easier by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s recent announcement that Iran can now enrich uranium on an industrial scale — despite the fact that many Iran-watchers and nuclear experts consider their claims of enrichment capacity to be an overblown boast...
