First, you should apologize to your children. You should apologize to them because, if you’re my age, you came into the world when the national debt was about $100 billion. That was a lot of money back then, more than any generation had ever owed. But when your children came into the world, they inherited a national debt of around $3 trillion. That’s 30 times more, and it happened on your watch...

Sorry, Rove, Bush DID lie about Iraq

In These Times
by Robert Parry

03/09/10

George W. Bush’s political adviser Karl Rove claims ‘one of the biggest mistakes’ of that presidency was not aggressively challenging critics who charged that Bush ‘lied’ to the American people about the reasons for the Iraq War, an accusation that Rove insists was false and unfair. In his forthcoming book, Courage and Consequence, Rove calls the ‘lie’ charge ‘a poison-tipped dagger aimed at the heart of the Bush presidency’ and blames himself for ‘a weak response’ that underestimated ‘how damaging this assault was.’ But the problem with Rove’s account is that not only did Bush oversee the twisting of intelligence to justify invading Iraq in March 2003 but he subsequently lied — repeatedly — about how Iraq had responded to United Nations inspection demands...

Collapse of the American Empire: Swift, Silent, Certain

Historians warning of a sudden 'thief at night,' an 'accelerating car crash'

By Paul B. Farrell

Harvard's Niall Ferguson, one of the world's leading financial historians, echoes Diamond's warning: "Imperial collapse may come much more suddenly than many historians imagine. A combination of fiscal deficits and military overstretch suggests that the United States may be the next empire on the precipice." Yes, America is on the edge.

Stumbling About In the Graveyard of Empires

By David Michael Green

Where is the public which, in a democracy, can control their government? Where are the fine American citizens, with their "Support the Troops" bumper-stickers cracked and fading on the back of their SUVs? Where are the great advocates of Christian morality, reading about cheek-turning in their bibles at night, and pouring out of churches on Sunday mornings? Where are they, indeed?

Who's Really Poor in America?

By Leo Hindery Jr.

At least 50 million people are ill-fed -- up from 37 million just a year ago -- including 17 million children. Hunger in America is now at an all-time high, and there are currently entire national geographic regions -- the very large 15-state 'South' being one of them -- where more than half of all public school students are poor and ill-fed.
