The Oscar for Denial
And the winner is - The American People
By James McEnteer
"We know, deep inside us we know--[just] as the Germans who kept their heads down and tried to lead 'normal' lives as genocide exploded all around them, in their name, by their own government knew--that our government has committed terrible atrocities at home and abroad. If we do nothing to bring these crimes to light and their perpetrators to justice, then we are as guilty and worthy of moral condemnation as the war generation of silent Germans ..."

A Practical Proposal for Real Change
Open Letter to President Obama
By Carmen Yarrusso

Freeing Up Resources... For More War
By Norman Solomon

It's Time to Break up the Big Banks

Nationalization: It's Not Scary, It's All Around You
By David Sirota
Amidst the punditocracy's handwringing about the supposedly unprecedented possibility of nationalization in America, Paul Krugman this week reminded his New York Times readers that nationalization is "as American as apple pie."

A Planet at the Brink
Will Economic Brushfires Prove Too Virulent to Contain?
By Michael T. Klare
The global economic meltdown has already caused bank failures, bankruptcies, plant closings, and foreclosures and will, in the coming year, leave many tens of millions unemployed across the planet. But another perilous consequence of the crash of 2008 has only recently made its appearance: increased civil unrest and ethnic strife. Someday, perhaps, war may follow.
