[Peace-discuss] @HuffPo: Keep America at Peace: Keep the Pentagon Sequester

[Robert Naiman]

Folks who think that (at the very least) we should be allowed to experience
a few years of peace before launching the next military adventure are on
the cusp of a major victory in Washington. All we have to do to win this
historic victory is maintain the "sequester" cuts to the Pentagon budget
that are already planned in existing law. And if we win the next round --
if we avoid any kind of "grand bargain" one more time -- we will likely win
forever, because the Pentagon cuts will be an accomplished fact, and when
everyone sees that the Earth is still spinning on its axis, we'll all
realize that cutting the Pentagon budget is no big deal. The Pentagon will
be smaller, the sun will come up in the morning, and life will go on.
