When will "public" radio offer any voices critical of US use of force?Or at least have questions about the stated rationales for doing so? Does anyone really think, #45's new phallic symbol will make a difference?

Yes, we need to hear more voices of criticism across the board. This kind of lawlessness
in Our American Name does not serve our national security. Indeed, it will only threaten it.

We are still a nation of laws and not of men. The calls and signs should go out far and wide to IMPEACH TRUMP and NOT IN OUR AMERICAN NAME. WAR IS NOT THE ANSWER. NO MORE WAR ANYWHERE. STOP US MILITARY AGGRESSION
ABROAD.

No American should subscribe to this kind of US interference in other states affairs.
(Henry Cabot Lodge sounded this alarm above in August , 1919. )

On the Easter Weekend it is pertinent to ask what percentage of Christian Americans - Protestant, Catholic- favor Trump's reckless militarism ?
Among Jewish Americans there seems to be a divide between pro-Trump Zionists and pro-Hillary Zionists and those on the pacifist Left influenced by democratic socialism and anti-war activists like the late Professor Howard Zinn.
In the late 1960s I was influenced by Zinn's " The Logic of Withdrawal " ( from Vietnam ).
How many Ayn Rand fans are anti-imperialist and anti-war ?
Ron Paul has boldly questioned the BIG LIE about Assad's use of poison gas- without in any way idealizing Assad.
I expect Pope Francis to comment soon on the danger of nuclear war.

The mainstream news media -including NPR - is now nothing more than the lying voice of the CIA. The big surprise will come when they start a war and nobody shows up.
The BIG LIE that will get us into the next war : the Assad poison gas attack in Syria. Where is the PROOF ? Yes, " Remember The Maine ! "

Including the critics of American war mongering abroad will help. The US
military are not serving the American peoples' interests but Wall Street 's
war mongering abroad, including NATO and its forces. See URL . Dee

Yes, NPR was one of many media outlets that enabled w to lie us into war with Iraq and Afghanistan. Looks like they'll be working for #45 as well.

Yes, and naturally the( national) NPR shut down COMMENTS so that no honest reader could challenge the BIG LIE . Establishment USA was all pro-Hillary.. Hillary -now the still frustrated face of World War III .
THEY will not sell us this war anymore than THEY could sell us " Hawk Hillary ", " Wall St. Hillary ".
But Trump has finally succumbed to Establishment USA-along with his fascist Junta.

That'll be a nice distraction. How many more countries can Trump bomb, ineffectively?

I observed a few years ago that US imperialism announced a new ENEMY every other week. Still we have " a special relationship with Israel " ? WE voted on this close relationship with Zionist, apartheid Israel ?

We also have " a special relationship " with barbaric Dark Age Saudi Arabia.

How many of our NATO friends are budding right wing dictatorships ? An inspired united force for GOOD GOVERNMENT everywhere !

"I think this kind of bomb will go a long way toward making South Korea an island in the Pacific Ocean. If you know what I mean. Kim hong dung?" - Thinkfreeer

You mean: Since we are horrified by the prospect of the crime against humanity that would result from a nuclear weapons use, we need to wipe North Korea, and all North Koreans, off of the map.

You seem to articulate the free-of-thought position of many Democrat/Republican leaders warmongers.

The Most Addictive Substance know to Imperialist Leaders: Human Blood

With hardly a week in office, President Trump got his first taste of the narcotic of mass murder with the raid on civilian homes and buildings in Yakla, Yemen. He was immediately addicted.

As with most addictions, he continues to demand more and more. With a little over 75 days in office, President okayed the bombing of the airport in Syria.

It was not enough. It never will be. Now comes the use of the MOAB weapon of mass destruction, with the explosive power of 21,000 pounds of TNT and a lethal range of on the order of a mile.

Unsurprisingly, the warmongering Democrats and Republicans, who have power in this country, are fully supportive.

Trump's addiction will demand more and more. . . Human Blood. The growing tensions with Iran and North Korea are ominous. The limits to Trump's crimes against humanity will be determined by concerted actions of those of us, working in our communities, to organize for peace and justice.

So now we need to use the biggest bombs we have to fight guys in Afghanistan who are armed with AK-47s and grenade launchers? What do we do next when using this kind of bombs accomplishes nothing? How about giving up and leaving? Let's hope so.

Hey, Trump will accomplish his objectives if the bombing results in his increased popularity. Dropping this bomb is easier than putting forth fair and reasonable legislation.

No politically literate individual on the real WORKING CLASS Left will applaud any hellish weapons in the military arsenal of US imperialism. Our plutocracy has no mission to instruct the people in the Islamic Middle East in sound statecraft. Indeed - as a key player in STATE TERRORISM- the United States has no moral authority to lead any morally acceptable " war on terrorism " anywhere on the planet.
And how is the Trump Junta less odious than Putin's Russian oligarchy ? Working class Americans offer ZERO SUPPORT for the New Colonialism and this insane belligerence toward nuclear powers Russia and China.
On " The Day After " we will all have more sober thoughts.

This is marathon weekend in Boston. Many folk still remember the Tsarnaev brothers bombings and the federal government legally defining the pressure cookers they uses as 'Weapons of Mass Destruction".

The MOAB has an explosive power equivalent to 21,000 pounds of TNT. It kills, indiscriminately, all humanity in a region with a diameter of, around, a mile.

Clearly the MOAB is a weapon of mass destruction and Donald Trump, and his military commanders, are guilty of a crimes against humanity for using the MOAB.

I hope for a resurgence of the anti-war movement in this country. The whole world can see that there is NO SUPPORT for US militarism among the common people of the United States.
The phony and ENDLESS Orwellian " war on terrorism " is a cover for the New Colonialism in the Middle East.
" The Arrogance of Power " will not stabilize the Middle East.

"I hope for a resurgence of the anti-war movement in this country. " - Ron Ruggieri

The Trump administration has inspired a great deal of community based organizing. I was just out at a meeting regarding ICE raids. Those present, including many undocumented, see the connections. Many will be joining emergency anti-war demonstrations being planned over the US government's escalating war efforts.

Thank you ! Best wishes here !

Remember, A POINT IS MORE PERSUASIVE WHEN IN ALL CAPS. BONUS POINTS FOR SPELLING ERRORS.

The enemies of the working class will never be persuaded of any naked truth about their rotten capitalist system. The ruling class discourages any questioning of THEIR privilege, of their right to exploit and oppress the vast majority of CITIZENS.
To the working class they say : " We'll give you Hillary ! "
