Norman Solomon, Truthout: 'In times of war, US presidents have often talked about yearning for peace. But the last decade has brought a gradual shift in the rhetorical zeitgeist while a tacit assumption has taken hold - war must go on, one way or another. While absurdly hypocritical, such claims mouthed the idea that the United States need not be at war 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. But these days, peace gets less oratorical juice. In this era, after all, the amorphous foe known as 'terror' will never surrender.'
