Have you read anything on how American political consciousness/culture has been formed and deformed? With actual survey data instead of wishful thinking? Studies on how social movements grow and die? Accts. like Piven and Cloward's, "Poor People's Movements, " or, "The War Within, " by Tom Wells on the anti-Vietnam War movement?

What potential new war? Iran? (Using the ex-marxist, guerilla group MEK as a Northern Alliance type force, http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=17943

also see TNR writer Kurlantznik, in of all places, the latest GQ for war planning in the WH, think-tanks and Pentagon to topple the Iranian regime) With what troops?
