How the Neocons’ ‘New American Century’ Crashed and Burned

How the Neocons’ ‘New American Century’ Crashed and Burned

Tom Engelhardt

(Tomdispatch.com) – When you think about it, Earth is a relatively modest-sized planet — about 25,000 miles in circumference at the Equator, with a total surface area of 197 million square miles, almost three-quarters of which is water. It’s not so hard, if you’re in a certain frame of mind (as American officials were after […]

Our Thirty Years War of the 21st Century

Tom Engelhardt

New York (Tomdispatch.com) – Fair warning. Stop reading right now if you want, because I’m going to repeat myself. What choice do I have, since my subject is the Afghan War (America’s second Afghan War, no less)? I began writing about that war in October 2001, almost 17 years ago, just after the U.S. invasion […]

Is America Sclerotic or still Youthful Enough to take on Imperial Presidency and Climate Change?

Even though we keep Bombing Weddings, Americans can’t See the extremist in the Mirror

Tom Engelhardt

They are the extremists. If you need proof, look no further than the Afghan capital, Kabul, where the latest wave of suicide bombings has proven devastating. Recently, for instance, a fanatic set off his explosives among a group of citizens lining up outside a government office to register to vote in upcoming elections. At least […]

Ultimate Blowback: A Planet Boiling With Unintended Consequences

Ultimate Blowback: A Planet Boiling With Unintended Consequences

Tom Engelhardt

( Tomdispatch.com) | – – You want to see “blowback” in action? That’s easy enough. All you need is a vague sense of how Google Search works.
