----- Original Message ----- From: "News Wire" <listservice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <boacosta@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, September 13, 2009 10:03 AM Subject: Accessible World Presents: "The Changing Face of America's Wars." Featuring Ed Cooney, September 29, 2009 News Wire: Accessible World Special Program Series: The recent proclamation by conservative columnist George Will that we should withdraw from Afghanistan no doubt comes as a shock to many Americans. After all, Mr. Will and other conservatives led President George W. Bush's cheering section when he sent Americans first to Afghanistan and then to Iraq in the wake of 9/11. However, Mr. Will's change of heart or tact shouldn't be much of a shock to most students of history. Why? you ask! Because the face of war has changed. On Tuesday evening, September 29, Ed Cooney in our Special program Series will address thetopic:"The changing face of America's wars." What did war mean to the early colonists--to the pioneers--to the people of both the North and the South during the Civil War--to main street America in 1898, 1917 and 1941. How do those experiences compare with Korea, Vietnam, Gulf I. and Gulf II.? Is war today what it used to be? Should it be what it was? What use is war? How and why should it be prevented? Is war preventable? Are their good wars and bad wars? These are some of the questions we all can entertain on Accessible World on Tuesday night, September 29th, 2009. Hope you are there because I am glad to welcome you.
