Fear Extreme Islamists in Egypt and the Arab World? Blame Washington

Jeff Cohen, Truthout: "For decades beginning during the Cold War, US policy in the Islamic world has been aimed at suppressing secular reformist and leftist movements. Beginning with the CIA-engineered coup against a secular democratic reform government in Iran in 1953 (it was about oil), Washington has propped up dictators, coaching these regimes in the black arts of torture and mayhem against secular liberals and the left.... One of the mantras on US television news all day Friday was: Be fearful of the democratic uprisings against US allies in Egypt (and Tunisia and elsewhere). After all, we were told by Fox News and CNN and Chris Matthews on MSNBC, it could end up as bad as when 'our ally' in Iran was overthrown and the extremists came to power in 1979."

With 36,000 Troops Set to Deploy in 2011, Is Permanent War on the Horizon?

Matt Southworth, Of Peace And Politics: "As the US war in Afghanistan spreads toward Pakistan and the strategy drifts to Counter Terrorism (CT), there is no deescalation in sight. In fact, it is increasingly clear that the White House has little intention to significantly draw down troops in July of this year, as promised in President Obama's West Point speech."

Peak Oil and Our Financial Decline

Video

The Nation and On The Earth Productions: "In this fifth video in the series 'Peak Oil and a Changing Climate' from The Nation and On The Earth Productions, author, blogger and social critic James Howard Kunstler opens up on two circumstances he sees running neck and neck 'that are going to put us out of business as an advanced industrial civilization' - the 'fiasco' in banking, money and finance and the unfolding 'energy predicament.' He explains that the crises are really all about 'capital' and that we need to look at how wealth has been accumulated and deployed for productive purposes. Kunstler suggests that 'cheap abundant energy' has facilitated ever-increasing industrialization for centuries. But now that society is in a period of self-destructive capital accumulation, he expects debt to increase as abundance in energy drops."
