Resisting the Drums of War

[Roy Eidelson]

The Bush administration promoted the misguided and destructive war in Iraq by targeting five core concerns that often govern our lives—concerns about vulnerability, injustice, distrust, superiority, and helplessness. Looking ahead, the continued occupation of Iraq—or an attack on Iran—will likely be sold to us in much the same way. I examine these warmongering appeals—and how to counter them—in a new video entitled Resisting the Drums of War. The video is available on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81UKnb5zJbM
