Why We Fight

If, like me, you haven't been able to catch Eugene Jaurecki's film, "Why We Fight," in a theatre, I wanted to mention that you can check it out online.

For most of you who bother to stop by here, the film won't deal with anything terribly new; however, taken as a whole, it is a sobering indictment of the militarism that dominates the way this country works. Although the quality of the online version is a bit poor, the film is definitely worth a gander.

As an added bonus, old reliables Chalmers Johnson and Karen Kwiatkowski are interviewed extensively throughout, and they come across very well. (Kwiatkowski was subsequently invited on C-Span to talk about the film and her personal experiences in the Pentagon).
