A Debate on U.S. Military Intervention in Libya: Juan Cole v. Vijay Prashad

Tuesday, March 29, 2011 Full Show

[the embedded video is 45:55 .. see YouTubes below .. the first starts off the same as the embedded video ..]

As President Obama defends the U.S.-led military attacks on Libya, we host a debate. University of Michigan Professor Juan Cole has just published an article titled “An Open Letter to the Left on Libya." Cole defends the use of military force to prevent a massacre in Benghazi and to aid the Libyan rebel movement in their liberation struggle. In opposition to U.S. intervention in Libya, University of Trinity Professor Vijay Prashad warns the United States has involved itself in a decades-long internal Libyan struggle while it ignores violent crackdowns by U.S.-backed governments in Bahrain, Yemen and other countries in the region. [includes rush transcript]

Guests:

Juan Cole, professor of history at the University of Michigan. His blog "Informed Comment" is online at JuanCole.com. His most recent book is called Engaging the Muslim World.

Vijay Prashad, chair of South Asian History and professor of international studies at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut. He’s the author of eleven books, most recently The Darker Nations: A People’s History of the Third World.
