How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these: George Washington Carver: =
To care for anyone else enough to make their problems one's own, is ever the beginning of one's real ethical development: Felix Adler: =
...when we finally know we are dying, and all other sentient beings are dying with us, we start to have a burning, almost heartbreaking sense of the fragility and preciousness of each moment and each being, and from this can grow a deep, clear, limitless compassion for all beings: Sogyal Rinpoche Afghanistan: The Promise and the Reality Reckless Soldiers, Slappers and Smack By Yvonne Ridley in Afghanistan === Bush's Last Bullet: Why the US Attacked Syria By Ramzy Baroud The sovereignty of an independent, stable country that has carried out many constructive moves in recent months and weeks, which could have surely contributed to the stabilization of the Middle East, has been violated, its borders breached and its civilians killed. But when the country targeted is Syria, an Arab country, and the perpetrator is the US military, then, somehow things are not as appalling as they may seem.
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article21184.htm === President-elect's Queries to Briefers By Ray McGovern === What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been Looking back on a surreal campaign season By Bill Ayers During the primary, the blogosphere was full of chatter about my relationship with President-elect Barack Obama. We had served together on the board of the Woods Foundation and knew one another as neighbors in Chicago's Hyde Park. In 1996, at a coffee gathering that my wife, Bernardine Dohrn, and I held for him, I made a donation to his campaign for the Illinois State Senate.
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article21175.htm === Obama's Historic Victory By Howard Zinn Those of us on the Left who have criticized Obama, as I have, for his failure to take bold positions on the war and on the economy, must join the exultation of those Americans, black and white, who shouted and wept Tuesday night as they were informed that Barack Obama had won the presidential election.
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article21182.htm === America Has Already Changed By William John Cox === My Michelle Moment: America Does Itself Proud By David Michael Green For the first time in a very long time, I felt a little pride about what my country was doing. This election felt to me like nothing so much as a reclaiming of our country from some truly evil predators who had hijacked it, and a restoration of democracy - and, really, sanity - to our political sphere.
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article21178.htm === Conned Again By Paul Craig Roberts === Obama vs. Medvedev Nuclear Smackdown in New Europe By Mike Whitney Most of what is written about Medvedev is nonsense. The same corporations that own the politicians own the media as well. Naturally, they want to demonize their rivals. In truth, most Americans would have a lot more in common with Medvedev than they would with Bush, Cheney or any of their "silver spoon" elitist cronies.
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article21181.htm === The Machine Grinds On By Morton Skorodin === What Would Lex Luthor Do? By John S. Hatch Pursuit of Bush's illegal foreign policy violence will not be lesser war crimes for being Obama's. Obamania could very quickly turn to Baracknophobia with disastrous results. After eight monstrous years, America simply can't take much more. It's time to wake up from the nightmare, or dream it all over again.
