openDemocracy is cosponsoring an event with the worthiest of cosponsors, Brooklyn Breweries. If there were free beer at all the events we put our name on, there would probably be more people at them. If you’re in New York tomorrow, Thursday, you should join me and the nearly 300 people who bought tickets in advance for the premiere of the film American Zeitgeist. It’s a smart film about the “war on terror”. It’s starts with the Soviet-Afghan war in 1979, and only gets to 9/11 in the middle. The longview is good, but I’m not sure it will help make much sense of any of it. Did we win the war yet? Oh yes, Christopher Hitchens is speaking after the screening.
