THE VIETNAM WAR COST AMERICA 58,000 LIVES, 3,000 HELICOTERS, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF BOMBS, HUNDREDS OF PLANES, MILLIONS OF ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION, GRENADES, RIFLES, SUPPLIES. ALL TOLD:$220 BILLION (1968)DOLLARS. THE FASCISTS CONTROL OF THIS GOVERNMENT IS DEPLETING OUR RESOURCES AT THE RATE OF $10 MILLION DOLLARS/DAY IN IRAQ. WHY HAVEN'T WE SEEN OUR "OIL DEPENDENCE", NOT DEMOCRACY, IS THE REASON WE ARE IN IRAQ? WE NOW(SINCE 1863) LIVE UNDER A GOVERNMENT OF THE (CORPORATE) PEOPLE, BY THE (CORPORATE LOBBY)PEOPLE, FOR THE (CONTROLLING CORPORATE RICH) PEOPLE. AS SUCH, THE MILITARY HAS BECOME AN ENFORCER OF THE ELITE BUSINESS INTERESTS OF THIS COUNTRY. WE NEED TO BREAK OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOSSIL FUELS, THUS BREAKING OUR SHAMEFUL DEPENDENCE ON THE OIL COMPANIES AND THEIR NEED TO DRAG US INTO WARS TO SECURE THEIR PROFITS. DURING THE PAST 143 YEARS WE HAVE BEEN DUPED INTO BELIEVING WE STILL LIVE IN A DEMOCRACY. EVERY WAR WE HAVE FOUGHT HAS BEEN FOR ECONOMIC REASONS. POLITICAL IDEOLOGY? DOLLARS!
