War bankrupting America, morally and financially

August 21, 2005

While chocolate is delicious and the funding of school repairs is important, Vermonters, there is a war going on that is bankrupting this nation morally and financially, as well as putting the lives of our troops in peril.

Vigils for peace broke out around America last week. There was news of them Thursday, but no follow-up today. Could this be because countering the Iraq invasion counters the financial interests of media ownership?

What other reason is there for not highlighting growing public dissent about a military conflict that began as the invasion of a sovereign state, has violated the Geneva Conventions, and that has, in fact, flouted those very conventions?
