As we plod onward toward yet another armed conflict, have you seen or heard a single anti-war activist as a counterpoint on a news channel, whether liberal or conservative?
Just as in the run up to the Iraq wars and Afghanistan the only people we hear from are either pro-war or supposed middle-of-the-roaders; those who say we should go all out and those who say it should be a more limited conflict; those pushing for the war and those in whose view it is inevitable anyway.
Occasionally they will have someone who is attending an anti-war rally and is all fired up excited and they will be displayed as comic relief but rarely, if ever, will you see a principled anti-war intellectual pitted against those who are pushing for the war in a one on one setting.
Why is that?
Have you observed any rational anti-war guests on news shows?
On the intellectual front, who now carries the banner against war?
