[Peace-discuss] [Peace] Fw: Money Can't Vote

[C. G. Estabrook]

You are aware, are you not, that America's major wars since WWII - called by 
synecdoche "Korea" and "Vietnam" - were started by Democratic administrations 
and ended by Republican administrations.  Since the current Democratic 
administration has greatly expanded the killing in AfPak, it's hard to argue 
that they're going to reverse their policies. Voting for them is an acquiescence 
to those policies.

To say of Obama and the Democrats, "Let them kill some Asians, because they 
might do some good someplace else," is at best a counsel of despair, if not an 
outright  criminal attitude.  Particularly when it seems that they're doing 
precisely the wrong things elsewhere, too - not surprisingly, because they're 
working for the owners of the banks, the insurance companies, the oil and 
construction companies, etc.  --CGE
