Reply #35: Military spending helps contractors MUCH more than employees

OR the economies.

It would make more sense to just write checks to the citizens. At least that way we wouldn't be creating our own enemies by setting ourselves up as a scary out-of-control beast to be defended against. We're giving countries REASONS to acquire nuclear weapons. That threat to our security doesn't concern you at all?

Neutral on the war? Neutral on something that has cost over 500 soldier's lives, over a thousand more wounded, and over ten thousand Iraqi lives?

Neutral on flushing over $140 billion (SO FAR, bush will ask for MORE next year) down the pentagon's maw, while children go undereducated, unfed, live in substandard housing, and have no health insurance?

Starting a war in Iraq INCREASED the risk of terrorist attacks here.

Didn't some foreign policy guy from Reagan's cabinet recently say that bush was naive to think we could rid the world of terrorism, much less evil?

Each time we kill innocent civilians trying to, we create more terrorists.

How stupid. But the MIC is safe.
