Resisting the Drums of War

This video examines how the Bush administration has promoted the misguided and destructive war in Iraq by targeting five core concerns that often govern our lives--concerns about vulnerability, injustice, distrust, superiority, and helplessness. Looking ahead, the continuing occupation of Iraq--or an attack on Iran--will likely be sold to us in much the same way. The video examines these warmongering appeals and how to counter them.

This is the kind of information we need to get to the general public.

They are using these same tatics in effort to launch an attack on Iran.

Please share this video with as many people as possible.

Peace

OK well put arguments towards imminent warfare.

Anybody who has read a.o. reports from Tehran know their goal is to get nuclear capabilities for Power not energy.

Distrust?? We tried consultation and trust in the late 1970s. Didn't work so well.

What are our soldiers for then if we are "wasting" them defending this country

What a refreshing presentation of this issue.

Generating complicit states of mind for the "War on Terror" is a full-time PSYOP/Media job, with billions and billions spent upon it.

So, pointing out to people the tricks used to stampede them into "desirable" states of mind is very valuable educational material.

Thanks for making and posting this. 5*s

Extremely valuable and practical video. Will aid people and organizations seriously working to end "elective" or "pre-emptive" or wars that leave everyone worse off -- including "The Homeland" itself. I hope the author makes the script of his video available so the peace community can use it as a checklist to help formulate strategy
