ICH: Cindy Sheehan: Kent State 37 Years Later
 
Date: Wed, 16 May 2007 18:50:59 -0500 (CDT)


But it was impossible to save the Great Republic. She was rotten
to the heart. Lust of conquest had long ago done its work; trampling
upon the helpless abroad had taught her, by a natural process, to
endure with apathy the like at home; multitudes who had applauded
the crushing of other people's liberties, lived to suffer for their
mistake in their own persons. The government was irrevocably in the
hands of the prodigiously rich and their hangers-on; the suffrage
was become a mere machine, which they used as they chose. There was
no principle but commercialism, no patriotism but of the pocket :
Mark Twain

= I look forward confidently to the day when all who work for a
living will be one with no thought to their separateness as Negroes,
Jews, Italians or any other distinctions.

This will be the day when we bring into full realization the American
dream -- a dream yet unfulfilled. A dream of equality of opportunity,
of privilege and property widely distributed; a dream of a land
where men will not take necessities from the many to give luxuries
to the few; a dream of a land where men will not argue that the
color of a man's skin determines the content of his character; a
dream of a nation where all our gifts and resources are held not
for ourselves alone, but as instruments of service for the rest of
humanity; the dream of a country where every man will respect the
dignity and worth of the human personality: Martin Luther King,
Jr.:

= "At the heart of racism is the religious assertion that God made
a creative mistake when He brought some people into being" : Friedrich
Otto Hertz quotes

= Today the tyrant rules not by club or fist, but disguised as a
market researcher, he shepherds his flocks in the ways of utility
and comfort: Marshall McLuhan - Source:

The Mechanical Bride (1951)

Operation Iraq Forever By Manuel Valenzuela

We are thus stuck in Iraq for the long term, for her resources and
land is needed to sustain and maintain the America we live in.  To
believe the empire will ever leave voluntarily is to live in delusion
and fall prey to the myths of our conditioning.

We have made a deal with the devil, and now we must pay its
consequences.

Four-letter Word for Tenet: Liar By Ray McGovern

Here in Washington we are pretty much inured to effrontery, but
Tenet's book and tiresome interviews have earned him the degree for

pathetic soul, who could not muster the integrity simply to tell
the truth and stave off unspeakable carnage in Iraq.

Darfur: The Hourglass of Blood By Ramzy Baroud

perpetuate.

Kent State 37 Years Later By Cindy Sheehan

Before we can purge our country of the hatred that is fed by greed,
we must purge our own hearts of the hatred that is fueled by
bitterness. Let's stand peacefully, yet firmly and fearlessly in
the face of the war machine that devours our children with their
blood soaked hatred.

Syria hosts more than one million Iraqis, and Jordan more than
