It's About to Explode: an LoF Summer

LoF has been pretty quiet lately, with the free time of the summer we plan on fixing that (hopefully), for now though some cool updates:

1. Big congratulations to LoF writers Adam & Max who both got accepted to UT in the fall (<3 yall).

2. To start the summer off rightWe are all extremely excited to have the one-and-only Masahide T. Kato (University of Hawaii, author of From Kung Fu to Hip Hop: Globalization, Revolution, and Popular Culture) do a guest post for us that you can expect real soon.

Ripped From The Headlines

Just came across a pretty entertaining article from the Guardian while surfing on Google News. It speaks about Western intervention in the Libyan conflict is a bad idea and will continue the trend of western occupation in arab nations like Iraq and Afghanistan. He tries to expose the neoconservatism brought about by the bush era that is seeking oil rich land as resources and prices remain controversial. He even goes as far as saying the United States has already began to use the same tactics such as uncovering evidence of weapons of mass destruction that would justify a NATO led intervention in the oil rich North African nation. He also talks about the effect such an intervention would have on the Arab revolutions taking place outside of Libya.
