https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UZ-s1dvOF8 Angela Keaton and Lucy Steigerwald take a crack at what we hope will be a brand new, weekly podcast for the site. We'll talk war, antiwar, police, imperialism, and all that chipper stuff. In episode one, Keaton and...
Obama’s Hiroshima Speech Was Lovely, Frustrating, and Infuriating
President Obama's #apology tour keeps a-rollin' on, am I right? No, hang on. As unforgivable as Obama has been on foreign policy in myriad ways -- and how much worse, perhaps, a Clinton or any Republican ever might be with the help of Obama's drone precedents -- there...
Lucy Steigerwald Covers the GOP Debate for Playboy
In Trump’s Absence, Republicans Had Something That Resembled a Debate By Lucy Steigerwald There is a pre-packaged narrative that says Donald Trump won the final, pre-Iowa Caucus debate by virtue of his not even showing up. Google searches confirm that frontrunner...
Lucy Steigerwald On Ron Paul Liberty Report: Talking Cheney and Neocons

Lucy Steigerwald and Sheldon Richman Talk ISIS, Mid East, and The New Bush
On Tuesday, Sheldon Richman and I had another podcast chat. As usual, Richman's depth of knowledge was impressive and made it difficult to keep up (in the best possible way). So did his passionate rants against the warfare state (but that was because I had my thyroid...

Almost 100 years ago, nearly 100,000 men on the Western Front in Europe stopped fighting the Great War for a while. Some stopped for a few days, some -- especially those who began the truce on Boxing Day or later -- lasted until the start of 1915. In some places, this...
November 11 Should Still be Called Armistice Day
The British and the Canadians call today Remembrance Day, or Armistice Day. In the United States, it's been known as Veterans Day since the end of the Korean War. Americans are much more divorced from WWI than people in Europe or Canada. Understandable, since the...
Chelsea Manning Rejects Antiwar, Conscientious Objector, and Peace Activist Labels (and That’s Okay)
It must be strange to be Chelsea Manning. The former Army Private (previously known as Bradley Manning) did a very decisive thing by leaking thousands of documents to Wikileaks. In spite of some initial suggestions that she did this in some apolitical -- possibly...
