“After 9/11, the neocons captured one Republican president who
was naïve about the world. Now…they have captured another
would-be Republican president and vice president, both jejune
about the world.”       —Maureen Dowd, The New York Times


Advisers to Mitt from the neocon right
Believe that America must show its might.
Though draft dodgers all, they’re in favor of force—
With other folks’ kids on the front lines, of course.
Through Romney’s campaign, they have all slithered back—
The people who brought you the war in Iraq.

From Minneapolis to Venezuela, from Gaza to Washington, DC, this is a time of staggering chaos, cruelty, and violence. 

Unlike other publications that parrot the views of authoritarians, billionaires, and corporations, The Nation publishes stories that hold the powerful to account and center the communities too often denied a voice in the national media—stories like the one you’ve just read.

Each day, our journalism cuts through lies and distortions, contextualizes the developments reshaping politics around the globe, and advances progressive ideas that oxygenate our movements and instigate change in the halls of power. 

This independent journalism is only possible with the support of our readers. If you want to see more urgent coverage like this, please donate to The Nation today.
