'저는 그들의 땅을 지키기 위하여 싸웠던 인디안들의 이야기를 기억합니다. 백인들이 그들의 신성한 숲에 도로를 만들기 위하여 나무들을 잘랐습니다. 매일밤 인디안들이 나가서 백인들이 만든 그 길을 해체하면 그 다음 날 백인들이 와서 도로를 다시 짓곤 했습니다. 한동안 그 것이 반복되었습니다. 그러던 어느날, 숲에서 가장 큰 나무가 백인들이 일할 동안 그들 머리 위로 떨어져 말과 마차들을 파괴하고 그들 중 몇몇을 죽였습니다. 그러자 백인들은 떠났고 결코 다시 오지 않았습니다….' (브루스 개그논)

MOYERS ON AFGHANISTAN



Bill Moyers is one of the great journalists and moral voices in America.

He calls for the "governing class" to either end the war or bring back the draft so that it is not just the kids of the poor and working class that get killed. Sadly the oligarchy that rules America will do neither. With a collapsing economy they have all the recruits they need as the economic draft is working quite well for them.

The only thing that will end the wars in Iraq-Afghanistan-Pakistan is a rebellion of the poor and the declining middle class. Only when they get tired of carrying the heavy burdens of war and seeing their lives crumble at home will things begin to change.

Sadly though the American people have been indoctrinated in the ethic of "every man for himself" which runs counter to the idea of cooperation and collective struggle. The oligarchy has driven a stake through the conscience of the public. For there to be successful change we must first see a recommitment to the ideals of a more perfect union. The idea of the common good must find its way back into the hearts of the colonized American people.
