Where Are the Peaceniks?
I’m sorry but this is one reason why I have no real respect for the so-called “peace movement.” I would think a peacenik would abhor all war and call for peace whenever and wherever it broke out.
But alas, the peace movement is currently silent when it comes to the recent Russian invasion of Georgia.
In a prior employment venue, it was my job to make sure “Democracy Now!” aired on our station. When it came to the Iraq War, there was hardly a day that passed when there wasn’t some activist or academic who authoritatively bashed the Bush Administration for the “invasion” and our war crimes, torture, and genocide authorized by President Bush, and aided by cronies former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and Vice President Dick Cheney.
These people were ready to hold war crime tribunals against President Bush, despite the fact that Iraq was basically liberated by a Saddam Hussein (that many Democrats publicly claimed had weapons of mass destruction years before Bush was first elected) that gassed and murdered his own people, allowed rape, torture, and murder to be committed against his own people, and repeatedly violated United Nations resolutions.
Yet, when you go to the Headlines section for the August 11, 2008 edition of Democracy Now!, they couldn’t resist an opportunity to bash America while reporting the Russian invasion.
