Please expand on your recommendations to address under what circumstances American citizens on American soil can be killed or targeted by drone warfare. Under the Bush Administration, drones have targeted American citizens here in the states, beginning as early as 2004. Thank you.

Truthiness is so lacking in this post Citizens United world where big bucks allows them to say-anything-to-get-elected-and-discredit-all-others-at-all-costs. Will the “Iran Hawks” and their minions listen to the truthiness of someone like Professor David Cortright? For all our sakes, I hope so!

SANE is such a great name. Very smart to bring it back in this new incarnation. (and a great headline for this post, an irresistible read). May it empower the effort to eliminate nuclear weapons.

David:
Thanks for the observation. I fear that the US regularly makes unrealistic “opening offers” that chill the whole discussion. A more reasonable proposal as you suggest could get more countries in support. We cannot wish away the fact the knowledge of nuclear weapons is available and must deal with the reality that we cannot stop the knowledge – so other systemic changes are needed.

Comment on When War Trumps Reason by Kaiser

Thankyou Gordon for a very hondst & moving article. I am indeed very proud of the professional way our armed forces continue to stand against the daily threats facing them from the ‘invisible army’. My heart goes out to the families of those young men whose faces we have seen more often recently on our tv screens, whose lives have been torn away from them. I believe that true peace is certainly found in belief in Jesus Christ. But with the uncertainty of future peace in Afganistan & the daily dangers facing our troops, I question from the teaching of Jesus, whether we should seek other ways of settling this war of terror rather than trying to fight it? Let us keep praying for peace & an end to this tragic loss of life, & not to forget those who will face a lifetime of disability & those who will care for them.

When I heard rerpots of a gathering at the White House, I made sure Kate and Josh were there. I wanted to celebrate the historic catharsis with fellow war Veterans. It was our moment.—————————————————————————————————————Best Regards;SMEBS B2B Directory india;
