Standing Army



Worth watching!
This film offers an interesting perspective of the American military that most American citizens haven't considered and provides information not commonly found in the American media. There was a lot of focus on the suffering of the citizens of Okinawa and Diego Garcia. While I sympathize with them, the strategic location of those islands means that it is highly likely that they would be occupied and used for military purposes, whether or not the US is the occupying force. And I certainly can appreciate the ire of the citizens of Vicenza, Italy.

I think that this film would be especially interesting for policy wonks like me :-).

Taking on American Empire
Revealing, interesting, and insightful, the kind of material the media should do, but doesn't, even the mythical "liberal media." The fact that so many right wingers go nuts (likely after not even watching it) and can't even formulate a coherent critique is one of the best endorsements possible.

Chomsky blessed
Chomsky is one of those voices in the wilderness trying to warn us all of the obvious. Don't trust your fellow man to choose wisely. everything is driven by lust, greed and manic power hungry idiots.
