It is "standard operating procedure" in the military (and the media) to dehumanize an enemy before going in and attacking them. Columbia Professor George Saliba reminds us in the most eloquent terms that Iraq is not a barren desert filled with nothing more than sand, Saddam, and weapons of mass destruction. It is a rich and ancient culture that has contributed greatly to our arts and sciences, and any attack would result in massive and irretrievable "collateral damage." |
 |

Alex Cooley attempts to expose the root causes of the drive to war on Iraq from a historical and strategic perspective, pointing out that the "weapons of mass destruction" argument is a cover, oil is the bargaining token being used to buy the support of other nations, and finally, that "ideology" is the primary driving force behind the actions of the United States Government. |

Janet Jakobsen explains how social movements in this country can oppose war on ideological and ethical grounds, while simultaneously presenting a positive and alternative vision that might be more compelling than the simplistic reasoning currently offered by our leaders. |
 |

Lars Tragardh explores the growing rift between the American and European worldview and "consciousness" in the wake of the terror attacks and in the shadow of a possible war. The Bush administration has "very little respect for the rule of law", and this is a paradox that creates a tension between the fundamental American values of freedom and the struggle for security. |
|
video (37:14) |
Lorraine Minnite shifts our attention to the homefront and reminds us of the costs of "welfare" versus "warfare". She then analyzes the politics of the right-wing and how ordinary citizens have been lead to believe in and to support their current agenda despite it's lack of attention to the social needs of the American people. |

Feminist theory can be one avenue for understanding the underlying motivations behind the current drive to war in response to terrorism, and alternatives that might prevent nations from entering into perpetual cycles of violence, says Janet Jakobsen. |
|

Alan Segal meditates one year later on the personal, emotional, and religious implications of the tragedy of September 11th, 2001, religious fundamentalism, democracy, and the challenges of dialogue among different faiths. |
|
video (23:31) |
In the weeks and months after September 11th the Bush Administration blurred the lines between national security and moral imperative, resulting in a contradictory foreign policy message. The present focus on Iraq may prove counter-productive if pursued without the support of a multi-national coalition, says Alex Cooley. |
