The latest Civilianism podcast can be found here. (Link opens new page). It’s partially a tribute to Veterans Day, which includes the testimony of one Iraq Veteran Against the War and the author and foreign policy expert Andrew Bacevich on a book about how Americans support war and why. Here is the Real News video I talked about regarding Afghanistan and why more war is what we don’t need there.
“Since August, the United States has launched at least 18 missile strikes on militant targets from unmanned drones killing innocent civilians and angering local Pakistanis. Meanwhile in Afghanistan 14 people were killed on Sunday after US coalition forces fired on their car. A US military spokesman, alleged the men were militants who opened fire on approaching soldiers after their car had been stopped. A claim disputed by the provincial governor who stated the men were civilian workers and not militants. IPS journalist Anand Gopal believes “that both countries are moving backwards.”
