“War … Huh! … Good God.
What is it good for? Absolutely NOTHING.”
~ Edwin Starr

Every terrorist killed in the Middle East creates at least three new terrorists dying to take his or her place … The more we use violence to “ensure our security”, the less safe the world’s children will continue to be … Violence begets violence; aggression begets aggression, and war begets war. These Truths are self-evident and have been empirically confirmed for thousands of years … To deny them now — when so much rests in the balance, is an act of immoral cowardice that we can no longer afford … We are still a young species, it is true, and yet our youth is no longer an excuse. Those who are perpetrating war (this means YOU, war-hawk Republicans — and this means YOU, corporate kiss-ass Democrats — and this means YOU, Mr. Obama) already know better, and are thus choosing to become a vile embodiment of evil … And those who do not yet know any better — those who have willingly bought into the myths of “self-defense” and “justified war” and “preventative justice” — are JUST AS GUILTY. For we live in an age when the Truth about who is attacking whom and why they are actually doing so is there for the learning, and anyone who refuses to seek that information and find it — especially when the consequences are the imminent pain & massive suffering and ultimate extermination of thousands upon thousands of innocent lives — is just as culpable as those pulling the triggers and pushing the buttons.

“How sick that we live in a world where billion-dollar corporations have to reassure their investors that peace is not on the horizon.” ~ Lee Camp
