  • Answer to Glenn Greenwald
    • Steve 03/30/2011 at 12:51 pm

      Seriously, I'm 30 years-old, have enormous respect for Dr. Cole and Glenn Greenwald.

      I am still for this intervention in Libya. I have to imagine it would be nearly impossible for me to enlist in the military and assure that I would ONLY be assigned to fight in Libya, cause I do not support the Iraq or Afghanistan "interventions," but, seriously, if anyone who really wishes to challenge me on this can tell me how to participate only in the Libyan conflict, cause I honestly don't know how I could do that, I will.

      AMEN, JUAN! AMEN! Thank you so much for this. I've been an active demonstrator and vocal, obnoxiously-sanctimonious railer against the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, along with railing against Obama's weak health-care "reform," his subservience to Wall St., his perpetuation and expansion of W.'s oppressive national security state and military budget... I've made lots of "comrades" in that time, and I'm split from nearly all of them in supporting this intervention in Libya. Your piece needs to be read widely.

      Thanks very much for this, Dr. Cole.

  • Maddow on Manhattan Mosque

      As the father of a 9-year-old girl who loves Justin Bieber, I think the GZ Mosque hatred is infinitely more embarrassing.
