Review # 1 was written on 2012-05-06 00:00:00 Derek Cheung Fox Piven does an excellent job of cutting through the layers of doublethink ' regardless of whether Bushfeld (to use Stan Goff's term) had internalized their partylines enough to actually believe them, or not ' obscuring the (duh!) dubious cost-benefit of distracting the country and recouping, yet again, more (somewhat-)lost gains of the Defense Industry and their often-48-states-inclusive working forces by sending Our Boys & Girls overseas in yet another jingo-fest that, this time, the rest of the world failed to miss or refrain from disagreeing with. Stay tuned for further developments.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-12-31 00:00:00 Jason Hudson This book is a gut reaction to the domestic political developments that occurred in the wake of the Iraq War. There is no grand vision or theory here. It's almost like a time capsule of 2003-2004 liberal political concern.
