“Whose Wars?
November 12, 2007 by cimmaronsong
“As the death count rises for Iraqis and Afghanis, it is apparent that at its most basic level, these are their wars. It’s essential that our curriculum confronts this fact truthfully. War is not Hollywood, war is not a macho presidential boast that we’ll ’smoke ‘em out.’
War is life left empty and twisted and brutalized. …
… whose wars? Our wars. We pay the bills, we elect the representatives who vote the war appropriations, and in daily actions, we oppose, support, or acquiesce to U.S. wars. These are our wars and our students’ wars - to support or to stop.”
Bill Bigelow
