This week and next on New World Notes: radio program #197, December 13, from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m., noted peace activist Kathy Kelly discusses the reality of the U.S.'s recent wars.

This week's topics include how poverty in Afghanistan aids the Taliban, empire vs. national security, the US-sponsored Israeli attack on Gaza (2008-2009), M.L. King's opposition to the Vietnam War, and the sufferings of soldiers. Kelly and some colleagues had "embedded" themselves--not among soldiers but among the common people living in war zones. She gives first-hand accounts of what she saw.

Kathy Kelly is co-founder of Voices for Creative Nonviolence. She delivered this talk in Binghamton, New York, in November 2009.
