[Peace-discuss] 90%

[C. G. Estabrook]

Regarding the next-to-last paragraph of the flyer, Bob, I don't think 
much of your suggestion that I purposely "submitted [it] too late for 
consideration at an AWARE meeting" in order to avoid your withering 
criticism, the substance of which seems to be "What is going on in the 
Middle East is much more complicated than the economics [sic]."

Should the offending paragraph have been rewritten as follows?

"The corporate economy drives America's criminal wars and occupations in 
the Middle East.  Both Democratic and Republican administrations demand 
that the US control Middle East energy resources -- even though we 
import very little oil from the Middle East for use in the US -- because 
that gives the US control over America's principal economic competitors, 
Europe and northeast Asia (China, South Korea and Japan). But what is 
going on in the Middle East is much more complicated than the economics."
