Political analyst Stephen Gowans discusses his recent article, "Puppets vs. antipuppets: Why Syria's Assad is a persona nongrata in the West while Egypt's Sisi gets $1.3 billion in U.S. military aid annually."
Gowans starts off describing the The American Sniper film as dreadful -- the politics that played out were reprehensible. They drove home the reality that it is the Chris Kyle type who are the terrorists, not the people who are defending their country from attacks.
A common definition of terrorism is that it is the unlawful use of violence for political ends and thus indicts Sisi of Egypt, the U.S., Turkey and the Gulf Monarchies, which are arming terrorists to fight Syria.
The end game is: Those rulers who serve the moneyed interest are labeled as friends of the West and are not attacked, while those rulers who serve their own countries are labeled as enemies and terrorists who must be taken out any which way.

We remember magazines that have bit the dust--and defunct magazine *features*--notably Esquire's "Dubious Achievement Awards." This annual satire on the year's vice and folly is much needed today.
Surely an award would have gone to the Keystone Pipeline. And to Saudi Arabia, for joining the recent Paris march celebrating freedom of the press.
We still have CONN HALLINAN's "Are You Serious?" Awards. We'll read some of the latest. Plus another take on the Keystone Pipeline by singer DAVID ROVICS.

Sociologist Michael Kimmel has spent hundreds of hours in the company of Americaâs angry white men including white supremacists to men's rights activists to young students. Downward mobility, increased racial and gender equality, and a tenacious clinging to an ideology of masculinity has left many men feeling betrayed and bewildered. Raised to expect unparalleled social and economic privileges, white men are suffering today from what Kimmel calls "aggrieved entitlement".
Many white men believed that the benefits were their due have been snatched away from them. Michael believes that the school shootings perpetrated by middle-class white male students, the menâs-rights movement, white supremacists, the fathersâ-rights groups, and more are due to aggrieved entitlement. The choice for angry white men is not whether or not they can stem the tide of history because they cannot. Micheal is interviewed by Hanna Rosin, the author of "The End of Men".
