Walden Bello: Washington's Worldwide Terror War: Taking us further from Global Peace and Democracy
Wednesday, June 26, 7:30 pm
New College Cultural Center, 766 Valencia Street, San Francisco
A talk with Walden Bello, Executive Director of Focus on the Global South. "Over eight months after the launching of the global war against terror, it is becoming increasingly clear that the US is caught in a relentlessly expanding conflict from which there is no easy withdrawal." So far, there have been no "winners" in the struggle against terrorism. The Taliban may have been vanquished, but, statements that future terrorist attacks are "not a matter of if, but when" represent an admission that White House¹s current strategy is doomed to failure. The warnings from Washington reveal an important truth: There is no way to defeat terrorism with warfare alone. Come hear why putting US troops into the Philippines, Georgia, and Central Asia will not make us safe. Walden Bello, Ph.D. is Executive Director of Focus on the Global South in Bangkok and professor of sociology and public administration at the University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City. Dr. Bello is the author of many books and published articles on Asian economies, political systems and security issues. $10 donation suggested at the door. No one turned away for lack of funds.
