BEWARE BUSH'S BOOMERANG
The Anti-War Movement's Work Has Just Begun--But it Needs Historical Context
by Bill Weinberg
"Beware of those who speak of the spiral of history," wrote Ralph Ellison in Invisible Man, "they are preparing a boomerang. Keep a steel helmet handy."
Actually, those who are preparing boomerangs don't usually tip their hands, however. While the US media portray an Iraq liberated from dictatorship, press commentators in the Arab world see a replay of the aftermath of World War I, when European powers divided the Middle East, granting themselves easy access to oil resources. In the official climate of self-congratulation, we urgently need to raise questions about how Saddam Hussein came to be in the first place.
