Those of us that can remember back to early 2003 watched the one man that could have stopped the insanity of a war with Iraq choose not to do the right thing. Because the doing “right thing” is rarely as easy as the alternative. Tens of thousands of lives lost and four trillion dollars squandered because when that man’s courage was tested, it was shown not to exist.
At the Socialism 2013 Conference, Jeremy Scahill and Glenn Greenwald speak of courage when one has the opportunity to do the “right thing.” And who and what those that trash such messengers serve. It’s worth the fifty-four minutes to listen.
