Ed Kinane, Truthout: "Can't we see our complicity in our own oppression? Do=
n't we contribute to militarism through the federal taxes we pay - about ha=
lf of which goes to the Pentagon? The Pentagon, of course, then funnels muc=

United States Moves Closer to Direct Intervention in Syria
http://truth-out.org/news/item/8231-united-states-moves-closer-to-direct-in=
tervention-in-syria
Steven Lee Myers, The New York Times News Service: "The United States and m=
ore than 60 other countries moved closer on Sunday to direct intervention i=
n the fighting in Syria, with Arab nations pledging $100 million to pay opp=
osition fighters and the Obama administration agreeing to send communicatio=
ns equipment to help rebels organize and evade Syria's military, according =
to participants gathered here. The moves reflected a growing consensus, at =
least among those who met here this weekend under the rubric 'Friends of Sy=
ria,' that mediation efforts by the United Nations peace envoy, Kofi Annan,=
were failing to halt the violence in Syria and that more forceful action w=
as needed."=20
Robert Reich | Whose Recovery?
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/8235-whose-recovery?
Robert Reich, Robert Reich's Blog: "Luxury retailers are smiling. So are th=
e owners of high-end restaurants, sellers of upscale cars, vacation planner=
s, financial advisors, and personal coaches. For them and their customers a=
nd clients the recession is over. The recovery is now full speed.But the re=
st of America isn't enjoying an economic recovery. It's still sick. Many Am=
ericans remain in critical condition.... It's almost a certainly that all t=

Israel's Assassination of Gazan Leader Lays Groundwork for Iran Attack
http://truth-out.org/news/item/8215-israel-defense-forces-assassination-of-=
gazan-leader-lays-groundwork-for-iran-attack
Richard Silverstein, Truthout: "Gaza is a punching bag or escape valve that=
Israeli generals and politicians can use when they need to show their publ=
ic that they're tough on terror, whether or not an attack serves any real p=
urpose. To kill people as a matter of state policy and lie about the reason=
s for doing so is the height of cynicism. It turns Gaza into a sacrificial =
victim of Israel's regional war strategy. If what Netanyahu has done twice =
in Gaza over the past year doesn't qualify as a war crime, it should."=20

Thomas Fuller, The New York Times News Service: "The party of Daw Aung San =
Suu Kyi declared that she had won a seat in Myanmar's Parliament on Sunday,=
an unofficial result that may herald a new era for the country as it moves=
toward democracy after decades of oppressive military rule. If the result =
is confirmed, Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi, a global icon of democracy and a 1991 N=

Bill Moyers | The Real Costs of War
http://truth-out.org/news/item/8238-the-real-costs-of-war
Bill Moyers, Moyers & Co.: "Most discussion about the 'costs of war' focuse=
s on two numbers: dollars spent and American troops who gave their lives. A=
decade into the war on terror, those official costs are over a trillion do=
llars and more than 6,000 dead. But as overwhelming as those numbers are, t=
hey don't tell the full story. In one of the most comprehensive studies ava=
ilable, researchers in the Eisenhower Study Group at Brown University's Wat=
son Institute for International Studies looked at the human, economic, soci=
al and political costs of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as our =
military actions in Pakistan."=20

access state issued ID and Drivers' Licenses regardless of immigration sta=

Alexis Erkert, Other Worlds Are Possible: "Camp Kozbami is the fifth camp t=
