[Peace-discuss] PBS program

[Jenifer Cartwright]

Thanks for the additional info, John. I taped one the previous Monday because the promo said it would explain why the world hates the US these days, but it didn't deliver. I accidentally taped the following week's, because my VCR was still set for that time and day, and that was the one that blew my circuits. It'd be interesting to see the whole series, each one exposing more and more what the US has REALLY been up to all these decades...

I saw a portion of the show, before being interrupted by a telephone 
call. I didn't get the impression that its producers were justifying the 
American empire mentality. I thought they were merely reporting on it - 
holding a mirror up to the American people, as it were. The American 
Indians WERE considered "insurgents" by the white settlers, and the 
parallel with Iraq is obvious and striking.

Incidentally, that show seems to be part of a fairly long series of 
segments exploring various aspects of the Middle East and America's role in 
it, all collectively called "America at a Crossroads". It started a couple 
of months ago, on WILL-TV. I taped the early ones, not thinking that there 
would be more episodes later on.
