t r u t h o u t | "Many of the world's problems are so intractable that it'=
s hard to think of ways even to take steps towards mitigating them."
That was how Noam Chomsky opened a recent speech to the United Nations. His=
words bring to mind what is undoubtedly one of the world's largest problem=
s: the insatiable appetite of US military expansion.=20
The Pentagon currently functions as the largest reverse money laundering sc=
heme in the world. Your tax dollars are filtered through the US military in=
to the pockets of arms manufacturers and private contractors, while politic=
ians and lobbyists make sure the money keeps flowing. Military strategists =
adapt to grow their market. War is waged not against nations but against ev=
er-shifting, often ill-defined groups. American troops are sent to "assist"=
in disaster relief and are increasingly present in countries with vulnerab=
le natural resources.=20
So, what can you do about it? You can support Truthout. We've worked tirele=
ssly for over a decade to inform the public about the realities of US defen=
se and national security policy. We give a platform to voices you won't hea=
r on cable news - people who have the sense and courage to suggest the Unit=
ed States should be spending its money on something other than war.
There are solutions to even the most intractable problems and Truthout is c=
ommitted to help find them. It only takes a few seconds to make a tax-deduc=
tible donation to support that work. Will you join in our efforts tonight?
