Reactors and Tomahawks

I think Josh Marshall asks the right questions and comes to the right conclusions about this Libyan adventure. Like him, I hope I will be happily surprised and this will end quickly. But there is good reason to be skeptical.
The big lesson of this past week of nuclear accidents and air strikes in the Middle East is obvious: we are entering a new phase of our ongoing energy crisis. With half of America now not believing in climate change and thinking everything can be solved with drill, baby, drill I'm not too optimistic. It's closely related to the plutocratic dominance of our political system and is the central issue of our time.
