[Peace-discuss] Hedges: only a candidate who calls for an immediate end to the war...

[Neil Parthun]

Why can't he/we be serious?

Obama has stated that he is all for imperial wars and the frequent  
use of the military to fight the so-called "war on terror".  We can  
hope that we can affect changes within an Obama presidency that he'll  
actually be pulled left but that's not "hope we can believe in".

Please show us why we're wrong here rather than platitudes like "I'm  
glad you're voting in Illinois" and asserting that we cannot be serious.

There is only this moment,

      Neil

  We absolutely have to refuse to attribute any kind of permanency to  
that which is simply because it is.
[angela v. davis, 1944-]

The point is, the only real tools we have are our eyes and our heads.  
Its not the act of seeing with our own eyes alone; its correctly  
comprehending what we see.
[warren ellis, 1968-]
