I think Scott was 'massaged' in that direction by Patrick Cockburn, who consistently insisted on Scott's show that the US had no other option but to leave.

Yeah, replace the US with an 'honest' broker and the futility and hopelessness dissipate instantly. Maybe the Israelis and Palestinians can put an ad on Craigslist for one.

Too true!

I don't get it? I don't see the irony. England was a colonialist country that tried to hold Afghanistan against her will. The US is bringer of freedom, and only those terrorists want us out.

Remember when Obama gave an unprecedented speech in Cairo? What an amazing grouping of words that was! Completely initiated the uprisings across the Middle East.

What an excellent point you make Scott about the US being the face of violence and dictatorship!

Loved this guy! Informed AND impassioned! I still don't understand the need to apologize for Obama, couldn't someone make the same case for W. being under the pressure of the intelligence agencies and Pentagon? The man is responsible and I think it would be a good start if he could made an example of. Anyway, I really hope you have this guy back on.

Thanks for having Mr. Worthington on. We need to hear more from him.

Congratulations on the KPFK show Scott!

WOW!!! I found this passage to be a perfect refutation of the "I'm a veteran, hippie, so shut your mouth because you wouldn't be able to open your mouth without my buddies dying face down in the mud":
"If I could wind back the calendar decades, knowing what I know now, I would not only NEVER have enlisted, but would have actively discouraged everyone I knew and met from doing so. Why? Because the only time any nation EVER has any reason to honor "veterans" -- or even have warriors in the first place-- is when they have stood and fought ON THEIR OWN SOIL to repel foreign invasion. Mercenaries who fight an empire's battles on foreign soil belonging to lightly-armed, impoverished others who have done that empire no harm and who are doing nothing but justifiably defending their homeland against alien invaders deserve nothing but our contempt."
