		<description><![CDATA[From Common Wonders
By Robert C. Koehler
There’s no armor, it turns out, for conscience.
So our men and women are coming home from the killing fields wounded in their heads, used up, greeted only by the military’s own meat grinder of inadequate health care and intolerance for “weakness.”
“Frankly, in my more than 25 years of clinical practice, [...]]]></description>

By Tom Engelhardt
Sure, the quote in the over-title is only my fantasy. No one in Washington &#8212; no less President Obama &#8212; ever said, &#8220;This administration ended, rather than extended, two wars,&#8221; and right now, it looks as if no one in an official capacity is likely to do so any time soon.

The Nobel Peace crown lies uneasy on President Barack Obama’s head as he ponders the next U.S. move in Afghanistan, with hints and leaks showering down to tell us that he will eventually send thousands more troops there.
His decision &#8212; which could be announced soon &#8212; was triggered by the [...]]]></description>

What’s up with Barack Obama? The candidate for change once promised to take on the powerful banking interests but is now doing their bidding. Finally, a leading Democrat, in this case Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd, has a good idea for monitoring the Wall Street fat cats who all but destroyed [...]]]></description>

By Bob Herbert
What will the United States be like in 20 years when today’s toddlers are in college or trying to land that first job or maybe thinking about starting a family?
The answer will depend to a great extent on decisions we make now about the American infrastructure.
This came to mind as [...]]]></description>

By Jim Hightower
&#8220;Repent,&#8221; the preacher cried out, startling those who heard him.
This was no street evangelist ranting at the passing crowd, but the archbishop of Canterbury, head of the Church of England. His sharp admonition was pointed directly at a particular set of sinners, who undoubtedly had never given any thought to the morality [...]]]></description>

Consider, for a moment, a tale of two countries. Both have suffered a severe recession and lost jobs as a result — but not on the same scale. In Country A, employment has fallen more than 5 percent, and the unemployment rate has more than doubled. In Country B, employment [...]]]></description>

By Matthew Rothschild
When President Obama announced that he’s going to hold a jobs forum at the White House next month, he said something that betrayed his unwillingness to do what is necessary to solve the crisis.
He said, &#8220;We all know that there are limits to what government can and should do, even during [...]]]></description>

By Alfred W. McCoy 
In his approach to National Security Agency surveillance, as well as CIA renditions, drone assassinations, and military detention, President Obama has to a surprising extent embraced the expanded executive powers championed by his conservative predecessor, George W. Bush. This bipartisan affirmation of the imperial executive could &#8220;reverberate for generations,&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From TruthOut
By Dahr Jamail
The military operates through indoctrination. Soldiers are programmed to develop a mindset that resists any acknowledgment of injury and sickness, be it physical or psychological. As a consequence, tens of thousands of soldiers continue to serve, even being deployed to combat zones like Iraq and/or Afghanistan, despite persistent injuries. According to military [...]]]></description>
