Clipmarks | Vietnam ClipsCan We Stop Being a Superpower, Please? Says New Age Hustlerclipped by: foxyarseclippers remarks: "This is a relevant question in the aftermath of President Obamas visit to Russia, a country that yearns to return to its former status and does everything it can to posture as its old superpower self. Yet other than a bloated nuclear arsenal and swaggering oil production, present-day Russia doesnt fit the bill and never will again. Its diminished threat is the first reason why the U.S. should abandon the thankless task of policing the world. The second is the enormous waste of resources involved in being a superpower. Sheer inertia keeps fueling the production of new armaments to replace outworn ones that were useless to begin with. Has the Stealth bomber justified its staggering cost? Has the nuclear submarine, Polaris missile, Titan missile, not to mention Star Wars? Most of these weapons havent seen the slightest use. Billions of dollars have been spent on a defense system that is protecting us from a foe who long ago neutralized its threat." Deepak Chancer Deepak=Smarmy Apache Clip Source: www.huffingtonpost.com Deepak Chopra Posted: July 20, 2009 12:27 PM The third reason to stop being a superpower is that Nixons specter of the U.S. as a pitiful helpless giant hasnt decreased since Vietnam but only become worse. Crude terrorism lurking in the shadows of side streets is a match for advanced weapons systems if you are measuring in terms of psychological threat, anxiety, and a creeping sense that the enemy can strike at will. Atomic arsenals, a massive standing army and space-age technology arent justified when a single dirty bomb can sneak in under the fence. Its time to accept what every insurgency expert tells us, that asymmetrical warfare is here to stay and must be fought on a smaller, smarter scale that is closer to neighborhood policing than conventional, World War II-style combat.

Walter Cronkite, who personified television journalism for more than a generation as anchor and managing editor of the "CBS Evening News," has died Friday night in New York. He was 92. Known for his steady and straightforward delivery, his trim moustache, and his iconic sign-off line - "Thats the way it is" - Cronkite dominated the television news industry during one of the most volatile periods of American history. He broke the news of the Kennedy assassination, reported extensively on Vietnam and Civil Rights and Watergate, and seemed to be the very embodiment of TV journalism. "Cronkite came to be the sort of personification of his era," veteran PBS Correspondent Robert McNeil once said. "He became kind of the media figure of his time. Very few people in history, except maybe political and military leaders, are the embodiment of their time, and Cronkite seemed to be."

An American flag flown upside down as a protest in a northern Wisconsin village was seized by police before a Fourth of July parade and the businessman who flew it ? an Iraq war veteran ? claims the officers trespassed and stole his property. The American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin is considering legal action against the village of Crivitz for violating Vito Congine Jr.s First Amendment rights, Executive Director Chris Ahmuty said. Village President John Deschane, 60, an Army veteran who served in Vietnam, said many people in town believe its disrespectful to fly the flag upside down.

Britains defence policy is mired in deceit and denialclipped by: ratilfarClip Source: www.guardian.co.uk Bob Ainsworth is no Bob McNamara. But Britains defence secretary was worried enough about the unravelling in Afghanistan to make it the focus of a speech at Chatham House on Wednesday. There were compelling reasons to be in Afghanistan, Ainsworth said. The engagement went to "the heart of this countrys national security" and to "the core of our national interests". It was a "hard and dangerous" conflict in which more lives would be lost. But the US and its allies were a force for good. There was new military momentum. There was no defined date for the end of the campaign, but "we will win". We have heard every bit of this before. It doesnt make it wrong, but almost everything that Ainsworth says about Afghanistan is an echo of what McNamara once said about Vietnam. There too the conflict was supposedly vital to the national strategic interest. There too there was always new momentum. There too there was nothing that could not be achieved by another infusion of fresh troops. Für die Inhalte dieses Feeds ist alleine der jeweilige Autor/Anbieter verantwortlich.

As the New York Times put it in a page-one obituary headline, McNamara was the "Architect of Futile War." In historical fact, Vietnam was the liberals war, begun by JFK, escalated by LBJ, and cheered on for years by giants of the American left before they turned against it. In his 1995 memoir, McNamara apologized for the war. But he probably sealed his reputation on the left by also quoting the New York Times and liberal antiwar reporter David Halberstam for having opposed U.S. withdrawal as late as 1965. "To be fair to Halberstam," McNamara wrote dryly, "the hawkish views he was expressing reflected the opinion of the majority of journalists at the time."

McNamara died Monday, according to his wife. He was 93. McNamara died at 5:30 a.m. at his home, his wife Diana told The Associated Press. She said he had been in failing health for some time. For all his healing efforts, McNamara was fundamentally associated with the Vietnam War, ``McNamaras war, the countrys most disastrous foreign venture, the only American war to end in abject withdrawal rather than victory. Known as a policymaker with a fixation for statistical analysis, McNamara was recruited to run the Pentagon by President John F. Kennedy in 1961 from the presidency of the Ford Motor Co. He stayed seven years, longer than anyone since the jobs creation in 1947. His association with Vietnam became intensely personal. Even his son, as a Stanford University student, protested against the war while his father was running it. At Harvard, McNamara once had to flee a student mob through underground utility tunnels.
