An astonishing 44 percent of Americans do not want President Bush impeached (Newsweek), 36 percent approve of the job he's doing (AP-Ipsos), 33 percent support the Iraq War (CNN). What, you may ask, is the matter with these people? Well, primarily this: they get their news by watching television and occasionally glancing at a magazine or newspaper. They don't know the things you know if you listen to progressive radio or search out news on the internet or read the ends of articles that begin on page 18.

Are current political systems--our own and others around the world--fundamentally incapable of dealing with the biggest crisis facing mankind, indeed facing life on earth?

Last year Harry Frankfurt, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at Princeton, wrote a great non-Marxist book about our time and place in the "information age." "On Bullshit" is its catchy title.

Many years ago, I received as a birthday gift an LP (also known as "vinyl" to those unfamiliar with the format of sound recordings prior to compact discs and MP3's) entitled "Richard Nixon Superstar" by vocal impressionist David Frye. One of the tracks featured Frye, as Rev. Billy Graham, saying of Richard Nixon: "He ignored his critics. He ignored the polls. He ignored the wishes of the American people." I am getting somewhat that same sensation about Vice President Dick Cheney.

Public awareness of the lies that led to the war and the crimes committed during the war helps build public demand for the troops to come home. Not every committee in Congress can work fulltime on simply ending the war: a legislative process that must be pursued but which will be uphill and subject to veto or signing statement.

THE WORD AMONG government circles is that Stephen Harper's handlers are determined that he "not be another Joe Clark."

The outcome of the US elections, the victory of the Sandinistas in the Nicaraguan elections and the overwhelming support for the Cuban resolution in the UN General Assembly opposing the US blockade of Cuba add up to a week up to significant developments in the world-wide struggle against the policies of the Bush administration and other reactionary governments.
