New World Notes: US vs Syria: What the Heck is Going On?
US vs Syria: What the Heck is Going On?
President Obama's rationale for bombing Syria is so preposterous, so illegal--and so unpersuasive to the American public--that one has to ask, What is this warmongering really about?
The show features some provocative answers to that question by commentators Bruce Dixon and Eric Margolis, law professor Marjorie Cohn, singer Pete Seeger, and yours, truly. One thing all agree on: chemical weapons are not the real reason.
Marjorie Cohn audio is excerpted from an interview on The Michael Slate Show. The hour-long show is available here. Thanks to Michael Slate.
The complete, uncut text of Eric Margolis' "Syria: March to Disaster" is available on Common Dreams.
Bruce Dixon's audio commentaries may be heard at Black Agenda Report.
