Dr. Jim Keeley and Dr. Paul Viminitz, experts on non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (Keeley) and the Philosophy of War, (Viminitz) will speak April 22 about the evolving situation in Iraq.
The Bush-Sharon Agreement just arrived at in Washington (with no Palestinian consultation) will only enrage not only the Palestinians in Israel but the Muslim world generally.
For both President George W. Bush and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, the benefits of the agreement, if viewed domestically, are obvious – for gathering political support, and for both countries, re-affirming the sense of ‘right’ being triumphant.
The United States is predicted to stay the course in Iraq, with increased military presence. Iraqi streetfighters, in turn, are predicted to increase the number of Americans returning home in body bags. For the rest of the world, there is chiefly shame that humankind is still committed to power and bloodshed as the means to victory.
