Listen to "Dahr Jamail and Susan Galleymore on War and Resistance"
Dahr Jamail is author of The Will to Resist published in 2009 by Haymarket Press and Susan Galleymore is author of Long Time Passing: Mothers Speak about War and Terror, published in 2009 by Pluto Press.
Both Dahr Jamail and Susan Galleymore presented at the University of Idaho in Moscow Idaho. This show airs the main event and includes portions of the Q & A session.
If anyone is in doubt that The Global War on Terror is a mechanism and a tool to force open trade and markets for corporate profiteers should look to VP Joe Biden's recent trip to Iraq on behalf of corporate interests. There, VP Biden urged Nouri Al-Maliki to “resist the temptation to demand hefty payments from the international oil companies as the price for doing business with the new Iraq....it's in the interest of every Iraqi to accept a smaller piece of a much bigger pie.”
One wonders why the corporate interests he represents are not willing to "accept a smaller piece of a much bigger pie.”"
