What Complicity Sounds Like: The Silence Of The West On The Death Of Muhammad Morsi

Thank you, Robert Fisk, for a lifetime of courageous journalism.

The Latest Outrage

The Trump Administration is playing an unconscionable and deadly game of brinkmanship with Iran, but since Congress long ago ceded its war-making powers to the imperial Presidency, there is no institutional mechanism available to check such bizarre and irresponsible behavior. We must all hold our breath now and await the decision of Caesar as he weighs the advice of his war-mongering, apocalypticist Evangelical Christian advisors who actually imagine themselves God's instruments in bringing about the "rapture" and the "second coming" of Christ. Somehow, I doubt the framers of the Constitution foresaw this day. Or, if they did, they failed to draft an instrument adequate to the task of preventing it. In any case, we are the barbarians at the gate, confident that we have our bloody God of Battles on our side.
