Medea Benjamin

Our only hope for the future is to abandon the futile quest for hegemony and instead commit to peace, cooperative diplomacy, international law, and disarmament.

The U.S. can either stumble on in its fruitless attempt to control the world through militarism and coercion, or it can use this opportunity to rethink its place in the world.

Reining in America’s out-of-control militarism would be a wise and appropriate response to its epic defeat in Afghanistan, before the same corrupt interests drag us into even more dangerous wars against more formidable enemies than the Taliban.

The deployment of B-52 bombers, Reaper drones and AC-130 gunships are a brutal response by a failing, flailing imperial power to a historic, humiliating defeat.

The protests should be understood in the context of a brutal economic war waged by the United States against the island nation for more than 60 years.

Let's hope Biden has learned another history lesson: that the United States should stop invading and attacking other countries.

The philosophy of this bold campaigner is both simple and profound. "Everything you do to make the world better," he says, "helps to make the world better."
