[Tom Mackaman]

Students for Social Equality Presents
   
  Lecture and Discussion:
   
  War and the Crisis of American Democracy
   
  “The United States is in the throes of a profound political, economic, social and moral crisis. It is a nation whose global imperial aims have become odious to millions of its own citizens.  During the five years that have passed since the Bush administration unleashed its so-called ‘war on terror,’ the policies of the United States have assumed an unconstitutional, illegal and even criminal character. The events of 9/11 have been employed as a pretext for unbridled militarism and a brazen contempt for human life and dignity. 
   
  “There exists within the United States a broad and deep-rooted opposition to the Iraq war and the right-wing domestic policies of the Bush administration. Yet there is no means within the corporate-controlled two-party system for this opposition to find independent political expression.”

  David North, Chairman, Editorial Board World Socialist Web Site (wsws.org)
  Joe Parnarausksis, Socialist Equality Party candidate, District 52 State Senate
