Are We Hypocrites? Does Anyone Remember Napalm?
-by Helen KleinWe used chemical weapons against civilians big time during the Vietnam War. How can we claim the moral high ground and use this as a justification to initiate bombing in yet another country? I love our country and the high ideals to which we aspire.

On the Life of William Norman Grigg
One of the greatest joys of my life was being able to work right next to William Norman Grigg at The New American magazine from 1994-2001 in Appleton, Wisconsin. I had been one of the staffers who had moved out from Belmont, Massachusetts to Appleton in 1989, and he was quickly added to the magazine’s staff after some brilliantly-written columns in 1993.

Caffeine, the Law, and Me
I was talking with a non-coffee-drinking friend recently about having to bring caffeine with me when I travel. "Addict," he said. "Nuh uh," I responded brilliantly. But it turns out that caffeine is surprisingly healthy, definitely a drug, and truly potentially addictive.
Which makes you wonder: if caffeine is an enhancing drug, and it’s legal, why aren’t the others? -
Putin threatens sanctions on Turkey over US missile strike
The aftermath of the missile strike on Sharyat air base further illustrates a fundamental problem standing in the way of a peaceful resolution of the Syrian conflict: the compulsive duplicity of Turkish President Erdogan.
Erdogan’s overweening “neo-Ottoman” ambitions – intended to carve out a role for Turkey as a Great Power achieving a sphere of influence in the Middle East and the eastern Mediterranean – are one of the primary reasons for the Syrian war. -

Bernie's Revolution-- No Turning Back Now
Did you watch the very last segment of Chris Hayes' MSNBC show Wednesday evening? He had Bernie on and-- in the wake of the DCCC-less near-win in Kansas Tuesday-- Bernie had some advice for Democrat establishment types that I doubt they want to hear-- or are even capable of hearing.

Number two: a progressive agenda that makes it clear that the Democrats are going to stand for working families [and are] prepared to take on Wall Street and the one percent.

Donald Trump and the End of History: Did Trump supporters just have a Fukuyama moment?
In 1992, Francis Fukuyama published a book called The End of History and The Last Man. Fukuyama’s premise was that having ‘won’ the Cold War, American style liberal democracy and capitalism would be the perpetual and constant force guiding the world forever more. Alternative styles of geo-politics, government and economics were a thing of the past; a kind of erroneous trial process that had at long last reached the ‘correct’ conclusion.
