Not the least of the reasons Colin Powell was sent on his errand to the Mideast, was to help Powell's enemies get rid of him, after the inevitable wretched failure of his mission. Once the President made it clear that he would refuse to back up his Secretary of State, Powell was in an impossible position. To say, as some Arabs and others are now saying, "Powell should have done this; Powell could have done that," is wishful thinking. They forget that Powell is working for someone else. In reality, he was in no position to do anything contrary to his assigned mission. ....more
The Blinded Cyclops Stumbles On It requires some understanding of the Constitutional institution of the U.S. Presidency, to understand that it has been the U.S. non-Presidency of 2002 to date, which has been the cause of the unbroken chain of disasters being visited on the world from Washington today. At the same time, anyone who may hope to make a difference for the better at this moment of crisis, must first scornfully reject the canard that history is determined by objective laws. History is determined by the intentions of men and women, although often, of course, differently than they might wish it. Take the misassessments of Colin Powell's recent mission.

April 19, 1943: On the Anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising

We reprint here a statement issued April 19 by Nancy Spannaus, author of EIW's THIS WEEK IN HISTORY feature and the editor-in-chief of New Federalist newspaper; she is also a candidate for the U.S. Senate from Virginia, and it was in that capacity that she released this statement.

Today, April 19, those who cherish the noble fight for human dignity throughout history, commemorate the beginning of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943. Just as the Nazi Waffen-SS moved into the Warsaw Ghetto to liquidate the 56,000 Jews who had survived their two-and-a-half-year campaign of starvation, deportations, and assassinations, a dedicated core of Jewish youth launched a fierce resistance. Knowing that the Nazis planned to liquidate them all, they determined to give their lives in all-out battle, a battle that could serve as an inspiration to those who would live on to fight for justice for all peoples. ...more
