[Peace-discuss] House Votes Today on Afghan, Pakistan Wars

[C. G. Estabrook]

Funny how that happens so often.

Altho' I'm a lapsed Green, a consideration of what appear to be the rather
limited virtues of Alexi Giannoulias will lead me to vote for Green party
nominee LeAlan Jones.

Anent AWARE's concerns, Messrs. Kirk and Giannoulias seem to be trying to outdo
one another on who wants to kill more people in SW Asia.  I don't see how a vote
for either one of them will suggest that that's not a good idea.
