Friends,
In my opinion VJ Prashad just posted an important statement below (the link is in two formats). Not only does he address the wasteful military system but he links it to the IMF and global debt, and the growing gap between the Global North and South. He also addresses the role that “intellectuals” can play in alerting the world to the realities of the connections between war, mis- and under-education, starvation, and global inequality and the international institutions that have been established to address these issues. Prashad’s portrait also implies why those who rise up against the imperial and war system may do so in ways we find uncomfortable.
While we mobilize to influence policy on these issues we should bring this richer understanding of “why” to activists and politicians.
