War After War: A Special Issue of "City Lights Review" Book

The Gulf War was remarkable for its savagery, brevity and hpypocrasy and lies of its staging. To control oil resources and petrodollars, the United States dropped 80,000 tons of explosives on largely defenseless people. Hundreds of thousands were killed and wounded, the ecosystem devastated and Iraq reduced to ruins. Amid the frenzy of yellow-ribboned patriotism the plight of Iraqis and Kurds has been largely ignored. This war made clear the priorities of the new corporate-military world order. It demonstrated how far civil society has given way to the power of the state to coerce, tax and terrorize. The Gulf War enables us to see how the state now serves not the common good but rather the transnational interests of the big financial and corporate institutions.Read More
