Not Afghanistan
Why fight a war to protect a drug trade and the tracks for a UNOCAL pipeline in Afghanistan when we should be investing in Infastructure in the US? Does someone in the Administration have a deal going on with UNOCAL through their connections to Bush 41 et at.? If so, would this be unethical not to disclose it as a conflict of interest?
Look at the BILLIONS spent in the defense industries to get more or less the same political mess in Afghanistan and ask yourself-- Should this instead be used to fund Infastructure and Green Economy conversion projects IN THE US?
What if: we had High Speed Rail lines connecting Philadelphia to Pittsburgh and Washington, DC to Atlanta, or Philadelphia, New York and Boston? What if we had High Speed rail lines that connected Chicago with Los Angeles?
What if: every closed plant put those people back to work developing bio-fuels domestically, making solar, wind turbine energies, or developed safe nuclear. What if we had rooftop parks and gardens with reconfigured green buildings irrigating organic produce consumed in the area.
What if: the money spent in making war could be spent curing us in subsidized or free health care?
What is your "what if?"
What if we didn't fight wars for oil companies misappropriating the Name of God to serve our
lack of innovation and insight and misdirection of resources?
WE HAVE LOTS OF NATURAL GAS IN PENNSYLVANIA.
And if we figure out how to capture carbon we can make even coal clean.
