“Parents teach in the toughest school in the word: The School for Making People. You are the board of education, the principal, theclassroom teacher, and the janitor, all rolled into two. . . . There are few schools to train you for your job, and there is no general agreement on the curriculum. . . . You are on duty, or at least on call, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, for at least 18 years for each child you have. Besides that, you have to contend with an administration that has two leaders or bosses, whichever the case may be.” PeopleYearsMayChildrenTwoSchoolJobsParentHoursLeaderTeachCasesTeacherDutyTrainAdministrationBoardsAgreementBossPrincipalCurriculumJanitorBoard Of Education Author:Virginia Satir

“Look what happened with regard to our invasion into Afghanistan, how we apparently intentionally let bin Laden get away. That was done by the previous administration because they knew very well that if they would capture al Qaeda, there would be no justification for an invasion in Iraq.

“The second term of the Bush administration and first five years of the Obama presidency have been devoted to codifying and institutionalizing the vast and unchecked powers that are typically vested in leaders in the name of war. Those powers of secrecy, indefinite detention, mass surveillance, and due-process-free assassination are not going anywhere. They are now permanent fixtures not only in the US political system but, worse, in American political culture.” YearsFirstsHas BeensWarPoliticalCultureNamesProcessTermLeaderFiveMassDuesAdministrationPermanentFive YearsDevotedPresidencySecrecySurveillancePolitical SystemsAssassinationDetentionDue ProcessFixturePolitical Culture Author:Glenn Greenwald
“In the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, I watched helplessly as the Bush administration led America into a strategic blunder of historic proportions. It became painfully obvious that the executive branch of our government did not trust its military. It relied instead on a neoconservative ideology developed by men and women with little, if any, military experience. Some senior military leaders did not challenge civilian decision makers at the appropriate times, and the courageous few who did take a stand were subsequently forced out of the service.” IfsMenLittlesGovernmentAmericaChallengesDecisionLeaderMilitaryMen And WomenObviousTerroristIdeologyAdministrationBranchesProportionAppropriateExecutivesCourageousMakersSeptemberSeniorHistoricCiviliansStrategicSeptember 11BlundersAftermathTerrorist AttacksDecision MakersMilitary LeaderExecutive BranchSeptember 11 2001Appropriate TimeMilitary Experience Author:Ricardo Sanchez
