Lawrence LeShan, "Why We Love War: And what we can do to prevent it anyway," as published in the Utne Reader (Jan./Feb., 2003)

Sat, 22 Nov 2008 08:41:29 GMT

Editor's introduction: "Portraying humans as basically hating war might actually hinder the important work of deterring it, suggests research psychologist Lawrence LeShan. New psychological studies explain what history has long shown to be true—that war holds a deep attraction for large numbers of people in most cultures around the world. In accepting and understanding this hard truth, we may be better equipped to bring peace on earth. A timely new edition of his book The Psychology of War arrived last fall, just as the White House began beating the drums—and much of the American public eagerly fell in line—for a new war." Adapted from LeShan's The Psychology of War: Comprehending its Mystique and Madness, published in spring 2003.

Anna Blackshaw, "My Enemy, My Brother (interview with David Gorssman on the conflict betwen Israel and Palestine)," The Sun Magazine (October 2008)

Sat, 22 Nov 2008 08:41:25 GMT

This is only an excerpt from the full interview. Even the excerpt is worth a read though. Grossman is an Israeli writer who manages to combine a powerful and ongoing activism for peace and justice for Palestinians, a strong and unapologetic sense of Israel's Jewish, Zionist, and historical distrinctiveness, and a genuinely poetic sensibility. His son Uri, a tank commander, was killed in the summer-before-last's fighting in Lebanon. Themes of the interview overlap strikingly with Appleby's work, I think.

Brigade homeland tours start Oct. 1 - Army News, opinions, editorials, news from Iraq, photos, reports - Army Times

From the Army Times -- the first ever active-unit assignment to the US Army Northern Command. A brigade combat team will be deployed to Georgia (under a command in Colorado Springs) presumably as part of a permanent domestic mission. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but this is just ever-so-slightly unnerving.

A Sri Lankan engineer controls a robot which in turn guides a mongoose around a minefield. The mongoose sniffs for explosives and is trained to sit up when he finds one. The mongoose, by the way, isn't at risk; he's not big enough to trip a mine himself.

Gov. Palin addresses a Pentecostal church with which she was associated until 2002. The speech was given in June 2008. Excerpt: "Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God ... That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan." Elsehwere in the speech, re a pending pipeline project: "I think God's will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built, so pray for that."

From the story: "In a conference call with reporters, Lomaia outlined what he believed to be the remaining options for Georgia in its struggle against Russia: a deployment of military equipment 'not to fight, but to deter them'; and, the arrival of 'a very, very high representative of a foreign government for a few days' to demonstrate international support for Georgia. 'Frankly speaking, we do not see any other way of stopping these people,' he said."
