Family Affair
VT includes many posts regarding Israeli/Arab/Palestinian conflict. The venom expressed in some of the posts struck me as worth time and effort devoted to research on what motivates people – to take a position on Middle Eastern warfare. Of course this topic could and does fill libraries.

3/7 Cavalry, Tragedy and Travesty
April 13, 2011 -- On Saturday, the eighth anniversary of the fall of Baghdad, I posted Baghdad's Neutron Bomb and America's Nuclear Obama, with references to back up the explosive title. Military comrades and media colleagues have since asked for a fuller explanation of what moved me from reactionary to revolutionary -- or, as we Texans would put it, from redneck to rebel. A paraphrase of Napoleon is helpful: From redneck to rebel is but a step.

Anthony J. Hall: Racism, Cover-Up and Corporate Fraud in the Fukushima Nuclear Catastrophe
The Fukushima nuclear disaster shows every sign of becoming the most serious industrial accident in history. Thus the failure to properly internationalize the response to this catastrophe is mind boggling. One month after 3/11 a corrupt little company in Japan, TEPCO, is still being left in charge of dealing with an emergency that is quite literally poisoning the planet on a scale that we may not have ever seen before.

Baghdad’s Neutron Bomb and America’s Nuclear Obama
April 9, 2011 -- Few people have heard of the Battle of Baghdad, which ended eight years ago today, let alone its cover-up. They might remember Iraq's information minister, Mohammad Saeed al-Sahhaf, warning of a surprise awaiting invading U.S. troops if they attacked Saddam International Airport. Later, al-Sahhaf claimed that the Iraqi Republican Guard had slaughtered U.S. troops, and was in control of the entire facility. His claims were mostly true, but were effectively countered by a U.S. military-media campaign of evasions and distortions that switched the subject from the airport action to Private Jessica Lynch, while ridiculing al-Sahhaf as Baghdad Bob.
