And whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. John Donne coined it years ago and placed it in graphic terms: “No man is an island entirely of itself, every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.” And then he goes on toward the end to say: “Any man’s death diminishes me, because I’m involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.” Title: What I’ve Learned About US Foreign Policy: The War Against the Third World. CIA Covert Operation and U.S. Military Interventions Since World War II Voice of Iraqi woman crying: “Why!? Children! Girls! Boys! Man, woman! Why!? Why!?” Voice of Narrator: “The invasion was swift, intense and merciless.” Title: What You Didn’t Learn In School and Don’t Hear on the Mainstream Media Martin Luther King, Jr.: “And I oppose the war in Vietnam because I love America. I speak out against it, not in anger but with anxiety and sorrow in my heart and above all with a passionate desire to see our beloved country stand as the moral example of the world. I speak out against this war because I am disappointed with America. There can be no great disappointment where there is no great love.” “For those who say to me, ‘stick to civil rights,’ I have another answer. That is that I’ve fought too long and too hard now against segregated public accommodations to end up segregating my moral concerns. I’m not going to do that. Others can do what they want to do. That’s their business. Other civil rights leaders for various reasons refuse or can’t take a stand or have to go along with the administration, that’s their business! But I must say tonight that I know that justice is indivisible; injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” |
