This site strives to be a conduit for sports as well as hard news and commentary. I'm not going to fool anyone and try to convince you that news is more fun than sports.
I know the stuff I often write about on this site is uncomfortable for some folks to think about. And I know that tomorrow is Michigan State's Sweet Sixteen game. I am looking forward to it and will be watching and enjoying it like many of you.
However, right now I ask that those of you reluctant to hear, read, or watch another story about Iraq, Iran and/or the War on Terror; just take a few moments before MSU takes the court this weekend to read the following two articles.
________________________________________________________________________
The first article is by William S. Lind. Lind has been a guest on Ebling and You twice in the last year. A graduate of Dartmouth and Princeton, Lind served as a legislative aide for the armed services for Senator Robert Taft, Jr., of Ohio from 1973 through 1976 and held a similar position with Senator Gary Hart of Colorado from 1977 through 1986. He is the author of the Maneuver Warfare Handbook (Westview Press, 1985) and co-author, with Gary Hart, of the recent book, America Can Win: The Case for Military Reform.
Lind, a staunch conservative, has been an opponent of the Iraq War from day one. On his visits with Jack, they have talked about that issue at length as well as the Iranian questions. Lind has been sounding the alarm of the dangers and possible dire consequences if our already overstretched U.S. military is forced to attack Iran.
HERE is a recent article by Lind at CounterPunch.org where he lays out his concerns about an U.S./Iranian war once again.
After reading the above article, please read this ARTICLE by Robert Bryce in the March 10, 2008 edition of The American Conservative.
Oh, and one more thing. Make sure that you enjoy watching the Spartans this weekend too, win or lose. Iraq and Iran are serious, the NCAA tournament isn't.
