Democratic dialogue needed on Syria intervention
(11/10/15 7:27am)
On Oct. 30, President Obama announced plans to deploy around 50 Special Operations forces to Syria — a decision which, according to an Oct. 30 New York Times article, is “the first open-ended mission by United States ground forces in that country.” President Obama has, in the past, expressed aversion at staging military operations for their own sake — so I think it’s safe to assume that their “advisory” capacity isn’t just that. “These forces do not have a combat mission,” assured Josh Earnest, White House press secretary, but given the history of “US advisors” (see: Vietnam War), this claim strains credulity. So are we going to war again? Quite possibly. “Going to war” used to mean actually drafting articles of war on another state or group — a step further than simply authorizing military action — but the last time this was actually done was December 1941, following Japanese attacks on Pearl Harbor. Today, going to war more closely resembles “protracted military involvement.”― Certainly, how we conduct war has changed, but what has changed far more than that is what we are willing to admit is indeed war.

(09/01/15 7:05am)
Lady”—Aung San Suu Kyi. We use her name as a representation of the movement for democracy in the once military junta-ruled country of Burma. Her face rests on cardstock on my bedroom wall with the Burmese caption which reads “Freedom to Lead.” Today, however, her name means something rather different for the country’s minority populations than solely fighting for democracy.
