Barack Obama, in his post-election press conference
yesterday, announced that he would seek an Authorization
for Use of Military Force (AUMF) from the new
Congress, one that would authorize Obama’s bombing
campaign in Iraq and Syria—the one he began three months ago. If one were being generous, one could say that seeking congressional
authorization for a war that commenced months ago is

Mostly we forget the victims of the war, the Iraqi civilians whose lives and society have been devastated by eight years of armed conflict. The act of forgetting is a social and political act, abetted by the American news media. Throughout the war, but especially now, the minimal news we get from Iraq consistently devalues the death toll of Iraqi civilians. Why? A number of reasons are at work in this persistent evasion of reality. But forgetting has consequences, especially as it braces the obstinate right-wing narrative of “victory” in the Iraq war. If we forget, we learn nothing. I’ve puzzled over this habit of reaching for the lowest possible estimates ...
