Chris Hedges - Changing Attitudes on Iraq

[klard]

The rockford College talk is in a 4 part video watch?v=SAWMgYyAtHU

Every American needs to view this and start a debate about the future of colleges in this country and the Utopian view of attempting to educate the uneducable.

no wmd, no al quida links.. i wish hedges was consistan and had not been for the obscene attack by nato on the women and children of serbia. that was unconstitional, and not necessary to protect the US. (or any nato countries, which we should not be a member of.)

Christopher,

I saw that youtube video of you addressing that college commencement.

You demonstrated great courage.

I heard the hoots and yells that were trying to silence you.

What made my hair stand up was the view of your audience as they shrank to silent passivity behaving as if they should be there listening to such talk.

Sadly, this is how most people react to a tyrant.

hes the man, hedges for president!

long live atheists!

[bapyou]

@8data Chris Hedges is not an atheist.

[8data]

he has good theses

[zawam]

Brave man but he is wrong on the utility of religion

[cruelfate45]

No, he's right. He doesn't ignore the lessons of human history that Hitchens and Harris are obviously ignorant to. He is also a well read theologian. I think he understands what religion is and is quite capable of judging it's utility.

I agree with the war for Iraq however given Americas rather gruesome and barbaric past, it should not have been involved.
