Saturday, January 29, 2005 Armaments Are Our Business 'I read your communication with intense interest and learned a good deal, thank you. I know it sounds childish, but if only we could change the economy of this planet from developing the best weapons to kill to the best education, medical, business systems. However, at my age I don't think it's going to happen. As for Iraq, how can we stay, how can we leave, what a Pandora's box!' Bette, you write of a great concern. It is not so much the economy of the planet as it has become the economy of American. The earliest major warnings were from Eisenhower who warned us of the growing, 'military industrial complex'. Constant messages from many areas followed the same concern. As Chancellor of the Lincoln Academy I made an address on the same subject. It was not well received. In fact they decorated Westmoreland. Dismantling the defense establishment is the only answer. We don't have a politician of any party willing to take that on. As for Iraq, I can only see one best solution. Let there be three seperate entities following tribal and religious groups in a form of federation. Iraq was created by foreign cartographers from the old Ottoman empire.If the civil war continues this plan will be best. Michael |
