[Peace] Read the 'Harper's letter': it's right

[Karen Aram]

I’m very fond of Harpers, given I read their publications monthly during the late sixty’s and seventy’s, they were the one publication offering sanity at the time, and still do. However, this letter, excellent it is, nonetheless has signatories that are as duplicitous as Trump, only much more professional, polished and knowledgable. That does not however make them any less guilty of the crimes of war they supported with lies and propaganda, during the Obama Administration. 

Anne Applebaum, Anne Marie Slaughter, David Frum, Fareed Zakaria, Francis Fukiyama, the list goes on, all contributed to where we are today with the Trump Administration and certainly would not be on my list of those demanding/urging truth in US institutions or government.

Anne Marie Slaughter urged a fly zone over Libya to support the “rebels,” against Jeremy Scahill’s sound advice, given we didn’t know who the rebels were, they likely are ISIS, and a fly over zone means bombing everything in the area, a very large area.

Anne Applebaum, who once deleted you from her website conversation, represented a particularly egregious organization/NGO/ fomenting a color revolution in one of the nations in Africa, now writes for the Washington Post. Sorry, I’m weak on details, given I’m writing from memory.

I didn’t mention David Brooks, who sometimes is good given his specialty is “culture,” but is another one with a hidden agenda.
