I Saw This on the Web

I surf the web. A LOT. And I'm always seeing things that I want to remember, but I can never remember what I saw where -- just that "I saw it." Thus this new blog.

What Is Happening in America? by Eliot Weinberger Vorwarts, June 1, 2003 (a publication of the German Social Democratic Party)

What Is Happening in America? by Eliot Weinberger Vorwarts, June 1, 2003 (a publication of the German Social Democratic Party): "This is, quite simply, the most frightening American administration in modern times, one that is appalling both to the left and to traditional conservatives. This junta is unabashed in its imperialist ambitions; it is enacting an Orwellian state of Perpetual War; it is dismantling, or attempting to dismantle, some of the most fundamental tenets of American democracy; it is acting without opposition within the government, and is operating so quickly on so many fronts that it has overwhelmed and exhausted any popular opposition.
Perhaps it cannot be stopped, but the first step toward slowing it down is the recognition that this is an American government unlike any other in this country's history, and one for whom democracy is an obstacle."
