YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIra Chernus, professor of Religious Studies at the University of Colorado at Boulder, discusses Americans' religious devotion to the state and its wars, the narratives of victory and defeat which supplant the facts as the terms of debate over foreign policy – including within the highest circles of power, the Democrats' fear of being portrayed as weak and inability to control the debate, the magic word "stability" for calling people into line, the long history of American dissent against war despite all the pressure to rally around the nation and the government, the neoconservative and liberal belief in war abroad to improve society at home and the realignment against empire here at home.
