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

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. Webcite: http://www.webcitation.org/5cARUYfIL

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

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.

Gov. Palin speaks to the Wasilla Assembly of God church, June 2008 (Huffington Post)

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."

Alfred, Lord Tennyson, "The Charge of the Light Brigade" (1854)

Was just thinking about the way Virginia Woolf has Mr. Ramsay quote this poem repeatedly in To the Lighthouse, especially the line, "someone had blundered."

The Associated Press: Russian troops roll into strategic Georgian city

From the pag: "To the west, Russian-backed Abkhazian separatists pushed Georgian troops out of Abkhazia and even moved into Georgian territory itself, defiantly planting a flag over the Inguri River and laughing that retreating Georgians had received 'American training in running away.'"

Thoughts on Nangarhar from an ex-Marine [6]

An interesting and nuanced perspective, combining an appreciation for the culture of the Marines (and its flaws), an awareness of the high strategic stakes involved in any civilian killings by U.S. troops, and a much-needed reminder that U.S. forces have
