200 Years of Standing Up to US War Lies 200多年的常设最高战争的谎言 Monday, September 22nd, 2008 星期一, 2008年9月22日 By通过 David Swanson大卫斯万森 | Murray Polner and Thomas E. Woods, Jr., have edited a new collection of writings called “We Who Dared to Say No to War: American Antiwar Writing from 1812 to Now.” Read it and weep … and cheer. |穆雷Polner和托马斯E伍兹,小,有一个新的编辑收集的著作称为“我们敢于说不战争:美国反战写作从1812年到现在。 ”阅读和哭泣...和喝彩声。 Weep because we’ve been lied into wars in very similar ways for two centuries and have had to discover the deception anew each time.哭泣,因为我们一直在撒谎到战争的方式非常相似的两个世纪,并已发现了新的欺骗每次。 Cheer because some people have been there to denounce the lies on the spot every time, and their ranks have steadily grown.振作,因为有些人一直有谴责在于现场每一次,他们的排名一直稳步增长。 In 1812, taking over Canada was going to be a cakewalk.在1812年,接管加拿大将是一个步态竞赛。 In 1846 Mexico had supposedly attacked the United States, whereas the opposite was true.在1846年墨西哥理应袭击美国,而恰恰相反。 Ending slavery was a belated excuse for the Civil War already underway (much like spreading democracy to Iraq), and it is likely that slavery would have ended swiftly had the South been allowed to secede in peace; slaves escaping north would have been escaping to another nation.结束奴隶制是一个迟到的借口,美国南北战争正在进行(很像传播民主伊拉克) ,并很可能将奴隶制迅速结束了南方被允许在和平分裂出去;奴隶逃跑北部将已逃离到另一个国家。 In 1898 lies about the Spanish that would have made Fox News proud (including lies about the Maine, a ship that was actually blown up from within) helped launch a US war to liberate Cuba, which however occupied Cuba instead of liberating it and occupied the Philippines for good measure, slaughtering people there by the thousands for years. 1898年谎言,西班牙将有福克斯新闻自豪(包括谎言的缅因州,船舶实际上是炸毁从内部)帮助美国发射解放战争的古巴,但在被占领的古巴而不是解放,并占领了菲律宾的良好措施,屠宰人们成千上万多年。 In 1916 Woodrow Wilson was reelected president on the slogan “He Kept Us Out of War,” and proceeded to set up an early version of the White House Iraq Group known as the Committee on Public Information whose mission it was to make Americans hate Germans. 1916年伍德罗威尔逊连任总统的口号是: “他使我们摆脱战争” ,并着手建立一个早期版本的白宫伊拉克组称为委员会公共信息,其使命是为了让美国人仇恨德国人。 The lies (including about the content of the Lusitania) were so effective that they shaped the settlement at the end of the first world war, contributing to the rise of Nazism and the second world war.谎言(包括约的内容鲁西塔尼亚)是非常有效,他们形成了解决年底的第一次世界战争,促进崛起的纳粹主义和第二次世界战争。 We entered that second war following an unprovoked attack by the Japanese, unless the threats we had sent the Japanese and the economic sanctions we had imposed on them count as provocation, and ignoring the fact that the US Navy had been given, nine days before Pearl Harbor, orders to shoot down any Japanese planes and blow up Japanese boats it encountered.我们进入第二次战争之后,无端的攻击,日本,除非威胁我们送来了日本的经济制裁,我们已对他们算作挑衅,无视事实,美国海军已获得, 9天前明珠港,命令击落任何日本飞机炸毁和日本的船只遇到。 The lies of the Cold War, and the Gulf of Tonkin, and the mythical babies taken out of incubators prior to the first Gulf War are still familiar to most Americans.谎言的冷战,以及北部湾,以及神秘的婴儿采取了孵化器之前,第一次海湾战争仍在熟悉的大多数美国人。 What is unfamiliar to most Americans is the history of truth telling that has accompanied all these warmongering lies.什么是陌生的,大多数美国人是历史的真相告诉了陪同所有这些好战的谎言。 If you want to be informed and inspired by this rich heritage, pick up a copy of “We Who Dared to Say No to War.” Here we find Daniel Webster and John Randolph opposing the War of 1812, Henry Clay and Abraham Lincoln Denouncing the Mexican War, Stephen Crane and William Jennings Bryan opposing the war on Cuba and the Philippines, Robert M. La Folette and Helen Keller speaking against World War I, and many, many lesser known prophets for peace.如果你想获得通知,并启发这一丰富的遗产,拿起一份“我们敢于说不战争。 ”我们在这里找到丹尼尔韦伯斯特和约翰伦道夫反对战争的1812年,亨利粘土和亚伯拉罕林肯谴责墨西哥战争中,斯蒂芬克莱恩和威廉詹宁斯布赖恩反对战争的古巴和菲律宾,罗伯特M香格里拉Folette和海伦凯勒发言反对第一次世界大战,以及许多鲜为人知的先知和平。 And the endless wars against native Americans are not even included.和无休止的战争对土著美国人甚至不包括在内。 Henry Wallace and Robert Taft oppose the Cold War, while Wayne Morse and Philip Berrigan oppose the slaughter in Vietnam, along with many other eloquent voices.亨利华莱士和罗伯特塔夫脱反对冷战,而韦恩和菲利普莫尔斯Berrigan反对屠杀在越南,与其他许多有力的声音。 And the chapter on Iraq and the “War on Terror” is richer than any before it.章和对伊拉克和“反恐战争”是比任何丰富的面前。 Numerous other lesser wars might have been included as well, but this collection is a thing of beauty.许多其他较小的战争可能已经被列为不错,但此集合是一个美丽的事。 “Where is it written in the Constitution,” asked Daniel Webster, “in what article or section is it contained, that you may take children from their parents, and parents from their children, and compel them to fight the battles of any war, in which the folly or the wickedness of Government may engage it?” “哪里是它写入宪法, ”问丹尼尔韦伯斯特, “在什么文章或一节载,你可能需要的儿童及其家长,和家长他们的孩子,并迫使他们反对战争的任何战争,在该愚蠢或邪恶的政府可能参与了吗? “ “[T]aking for true,” said Abraham Lincoln, “all the President states as fact, he falls far short of proving his justification; and … would have gone farther with his proof, if it had not been for the small matter, that the truth would not permit him.” “ [ Ť ] aking真正的说, ”林肯“ ,所有的主席国事实上,他远远不能证明其理由;和...我们不会去与他进一步证明,如果没有小的问题,真相将不允许他。 “ “I have agonized over this vote,” said Congresswoman Barbara Lee on September 15, 2001, when she stood alone against launching an open-ended war on Afghanistan. “我已经痛苦了本次投票说: ”众议员芭芭拉李于9月15日, 2001年,当她站在反对单独发起一个不限成员名额的阿富汗战争。 “But I came to grips with it in the very painful yet beautiful memorial service today at the National Cathedral. “但是我来对付它在非常痛苦的还漂亮的追悼会今天在国家大教堂。 As a member of the clergy so eloquently said, ‘As we act, let us not become the evil that we deplore.’”身为神职人员如此雄辩地说, '当我们的行为,让我们不要成为邪恶,我们感到遗憾。 “ While it’s not included in the book, I want to add something sung by Pete Seeger:虽然不包括在这本书,我想补充一点晟前皮特西格: Have Your Say: 200 Years of Standing Up to US War Lies 你说: 200年的常设最高战争的谎言 Please read our请仔细阅读我们的 posting guidelines before posting张贴在发布前的指导方针 . 。 Alternatively或者 you can discuss this report here你可以讨论这份报告在这里 . 。 Related News 相关新闻
