Eric I went to a biirthday party last night - which corrected a misassumption that I was making following in some sense an interview with Chomsky on the TV - Chomsky said "...no war has been so refused befopre it took place..." But it was pointed out to me that the war that is about to be restarted, began with the mass-murder of 600,000 human subjects in the early 1990's and the subsequent death of 10s of thousands of others since then. Perhaps the rejection of the war is founded on our residual memory of the images of supposedly fierce and dangerous Iraqi soldiers being buried alive by bulldozers? The failure of the spectacle to repress these memories may be a sign of hope as the neo-liberal economy and ideology falls to ground around us. regards steve Eric wrote: >Steve, > >Thanks for sending this.
