Meditations in a Time of Delusions and Lies 17: No Empire, No Iraq War: Do You Have a Dream? MLK Day comes again, and "I have a Dream!" will be repeatedly endlessly.

Meditations in a Time of Delusions and Lies - 13: Remember Lebanon? Americans have pretty much forgotten the Israeli invasion of Lebanon -- and if not, the wrong lessons are being drawn from it. Consider what ramifications result from the fact that, for the first time, an Arab army stopped Israel in its tracks.
