[Peace-discuss] Attack on Pakistan?

[Morton K. Brussel]

Tom Hayden warns about plans to attack Pakistan! See http://

Quoting Hayden:

It is ironic that Democrats like Obama, whose campaign was built  
around questioning the intelligence justifying the Iraq War would now  
be arguing for a preventive war in a sovereign country if evidence  
gathered by intelligence sources is merely “actionable.”

The further irony is that the “war on terrorism” is escalating  
without meaningful discussion or dissent in the midst of the most  
open and democratic of American processes, the presidential debates.


I don't believe that the debates were quite as open as he says. Truly  
critical views of U.S. actions have not been aired. The word  
impeachment not uttered. Torture and renditions not mentioned,nor is  
the ineptitude of Congress. Oil and the middle east are not  
mentioned, nor Israel/Palestine. Kucinich has been left out, and Paul  
is a weird anti-war libertarian (a word easily misconstrued!) blend.
