-Caveat Lector- Begin forwarded message: From: "Consortiumnews\.com" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: July 30, 2006 10:35:24 AM PDT To: "List Member" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: War in the Age of 'Poodle-ism' Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> See two new postings at Consortiumnews.com: "War in the Age of Poodle-ism" and "Biblical Pacifism to the Crusades." 1. British Prime Minister Tony Blair has earned the nickname, the Poodle, as George W. Bush's lapdog. But in this guest essay, political analyst Brent Budowsky argues that Blair is not alone, that timidity in the face of today's neoconservative bullies is so pervasive in U.S. politics and journalism that the phenomenon deserves its own label, "poodle-ism."  2. Though the Crusades date back almost a millennium, they continue to color events in today's Middle East, as many Muslims view U.S. intervention through that ancient prism. But the Crusades also marked a shift in Christianity away from the pacifism taught by Jesus to the self-righteous use of violence espoused by George W. Bush and many modern Christians.  For these two articles, which give perspective on the tragedies unfolding in the Middle East, go to Consortiumnews.com at http://www.consortiumnews.com .
