oktober, artforum and rhizome

Recent posts to rhizome have for the most part ignored the political situation in the world.
Will Rhizome stand up and declare an anti-war in Iraq?
Or will we continue to advance our projects and festivals while ignoring the deaths in Iraq?
This is Oktober, and the stakes are high.
years ago (1970's) Artforum experienced the same moral and ethical dilemma.
David Askevold, On Kawara, and many others abandoned the forum.
Will Rhiizome now accept that they are responsible for their actions?
Will they actively address the pain and loss of the victims?
Will the splash screen echo the real worlds pain?
