Who are the ones that we kept in charge?

Several incredibly stunning pieces around the web today:

• Howard Zinn presents a People's History of Antiwar Protest
• Arianna Huffington talks about why the antiwar movement was right, and points out the eagerness with which the Administration is encouraging far right Christian missionaries to go into the land of Islam and seek out converts. I think that this is possibly the most damaging act thus far. The fear on the part of Muslims that this is simply a covert Holy War against Islam is starting to seem not so far fetched after all.
• Ted Rall on the faking of the infamous "tearing down the statue of Saddam".
• Tim Robbins explains quite plainly what is wrong with the state of our nation in regards to the war.
• slacktivist pipes in about the insanity of the administrations' foreign policy "rationales".
• Doug Ireland notes the failure of the US to follow the directives of the Geneva convention among others (though our government was always quick to criticize the USSR for similar failings).
• Why do people hate America?
• What about those Weapons of Mass Distraction?
• Indy Media just on general principle.
• Michael Tomasky on the attempts to silence the left.
• Brooke Biggs on the killing of peace activists
• Seumus Milne on the Fraudulent War
