From AntiWar.com somes an interview Scott Horton did with Thomas E. Woods, Jr, co-editor of We Who Dared to Say No to War: American Antiwar Writing from 1812 to Now, discussing the persistence of pro-war propaganda over time, the remarkably similar arguments made to justify the War of 1812 and the current Iraq war, the case of pro-secessionist and abolitionist Lysander Spooner, the U.S. provocations that ensured U.S. entry into W.W.I, the importance of forming a left-right antiwar alliance to counter the bipartisan war party and the legacy of the Bush presidency being reflected in Obama’s cabinet appointments. If you have an extra hour its a good listen - Mr. Woods is compelling. Or download the MP3 and save for later.
