and to all the other peaceful people on this board. I don't know what we can be done, we have had peace marches, signed petitions, and have written reps about peace. People like Dennis Kucinich could not make headway against the MIC.

Orweillian propaganda is out there convincing people that the militarization of our police, constant surveillance and the use of drones is good for us and peace activists are a domestic threat. They are dividing and conquering this country, and have destabilized it so it can be plundered like so many before.

The President is wrong on this policy, we all lose in an arms race. Isn't that once a conclusion we had at the end of the cold war? What has changed since then? The invention of the drone will just inspire counter measures, which may be worse, on and on.

Peace~~~Felix
