Economic Justic Will Never Be Gained If We Remain a Nation Addicted to War

With trillions of dollars spent on four consecutive wars, in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Pakistan, we will never see economic justice in this country.  It is neither the countries, nor the people who win.  To believe that long term peace can be attained at the barrel of a gun is folly.  To believe that war will benefit the masses of either country is folly still.  The only winners in these wars are the corporations - the oil barons, the private contractors, the weapons manufacturers.  The people always lose.  Yet, our plight is not without light - or struggle not without hope.  United as a people we need to speak up, stand up and demand an end to the wars.  We are many, they are few.  Change is in the air - we just need to open our noses to it.  Change comes not by simply voting - as the last election proves.  As Emma Goldman stated "If voting changed anything, it would be made illegal."   Democracy is a lifestyle.  Let's start living it.
