Description: 

Michael Parenti, author of "Democracy for the Few," "The Sword and the Dollar," and "Make Believe: The Politics of the Entertainment Media," speaks on the United States reaction to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990, and the resulting Gulf War, 1990-1991. He examines: the false use of historical examples to justify war; the misrepresentation of an Arab mind; the limited media perspectives on the conflict; the twofold nature of our society, divided between the wealthy and the laborer; the limits of a conspiratorial approach to the world; Arab Nationalism and U.S. reactions; Kuwait's monarchy and U.S. war aims; the one-sided nature of the conflict; and how the war served to promote the U.S. military. He concludes with an evaluation of the peace movement. RECORDED: Florence Schwynley Auditorium, Berkeley, 13 Mar. 1991.
