Why War? Does the Reason Even Matter...

Let's Chat! Share Your Ideas for Episodes & OpinionPeace in the Middle East? When you call a friend in Turkey, and the first question they ask is, "what do you think about the war?" the urge to apologize, or find something to say that explains how you became complicit in another war in the Middle East can feel overwhelming. Regardless of who you did or didn't vote for, id you are living in the United States, then are you not complicit? Regardless of whether or not you live in the United States, does being a bystander not also make you somewhat complicit? Perhaps, but maybe who agrees, who disagrees, who supports, who condemns, is all irrelevant without addressing the reason why. Is there ever a reasonable justification for war? Let's chat about it.Music by Mound City by Coleman Hawkins (recorded 1929)**This podcast is recorded in a style that pays homage to talents like Miss Monitor (Tedi Thurman) and explores topics designed to stimulate conversations.
