The military historian Andrew Bacevich has spent years warning that US policy planners have adopted an explicit doctrine of “endless war”. Obama officials, despite repeatedly boasting that they have delivered permanently crippling blows to al-Qaida, are now, as clearly as the English language permits, openly declaring this to be so.</p> <p>It is hard to resist the conclusion that this war has no purpose other than its own eternal perpetuation. This war is not a means to any end but rather is the end in itself. Not only is it the end itself, but it is also its own fuel: it is precisely this endless war - justified in the name of stopping the threat of terrorism - that is the single greatest cause of that threat.</p>”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/may/17/endless-war-on-terror-obama">Glenn Greenwald</a></em>http://thegildedcentury.tumblr.com/post/50673273847http://thegildedcentury.tumblr.com/post/50673273847Fri, 17 May 2013 15:37:08 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/9c3d2dda58974e4d25a399c1962e0953/tumblr_mmvgdbNw8O1qdmciqo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>America’s Greatest Comics #6, 1942</p>http://thegildedcentury.tumblr.com/post/50586547709http://thegildedcentury.tumblr.com/post/50586547709Thu, 16 May 2013 12:27:43 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/7bf24c241fa4b6683a658fc71b662826/tumblr_mmvfrfG9p31qdmciqo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Life, July 8, 1946</p>http://thegildedcentury.tumblr.com/post/50583100796http://thegildedcentury.tumblr.com/post/50583100796Thu, 16 May 2013 11:22:06 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/fb3eed9274667001ff8c44322bca671a/tumblr_mmvehfE96H1qdmciqo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Famous Fantastic Mysteries, September, 1945</p>http://thegildedcentury.tumblr.com/post/50579904191http://thegildedcentury.tumblr.com/post/50579904191Thu, 16 May 2013 10:16:38 -0500
