Our leaders have reduced politics to questions of mere survival, in which even the smallest risks are viewed as overriding threats to national existence.

Spring Teach-in Against the War on Terror


The Teach-In Against the War on Terror will take place on Saturday, February 25. It will include the Editors of this blog, as well as Christian Parenti and Corey Robin. The Teach-In is an effort to engage in a serious, extended, face-to-face debate and discussion about the war on terror.

The day will be broken up into different, topic specific sessions in which the Editors, along with Christian Parenti and Corey Robin, will present a series of arguments. Issues covered will be: international dimensions of the war on terror, political Islam, civil liberties, human rights, minority rights, neoconservatism and the politics of fear. The aim is to make the discussion as political possible, therefore speakers will keep comments short, and there will be ample time and space for floor discussions.

We will have full details shortly, including time, location, schedule and registration information.
