Afghanistan: An Imperial DilemmaI am reassured by Alan Bock's response. Perhaps he would understand my sharp reaction if he were to consider the following:Back in the 1950s, my father was Afghan ambassador to the United States. Therefore, I spent seven years of my...
Gagged, but Still Going StrongI have been following Sibel Edmonds' story avidly since the first time I saw a piece on it on Antiwar.com (the only place I've been able to learn about it by the way). There's not been another story that raises my blood pressure as much...
