Why Fight?

Every American should see this video. Alan Watts says more in 4 minutes than most politicians say in a lifetime.



There was a time in this Country when war was something to be avoided.

In recent decades there have been those, like John McCain and Lindsey Graham, that have been beating the drumbeats of war. But the motivation is not fear for them. It is money and power. These warmongers teach the American people to be afraid, now of Iran. Before it was Communists. More recently, terrorists. Then they used that fear that they generated to convince the American people we have to go to war.

Do you remember the rhetoric the Bush Administration used to justify going to war with Iraq? I remember Condoleezza Rice saying that if we don't the result would be a "mushroom cloud." Of course, she was lying.

Isn't it time we gave peace a chance?
