Obama for War
“Another undeclared failed foreign war endorsed by the peace candidate,” writes Jim Ostrowski.
Barack Obama, in a speech last week, expressed his desire to continue US involvement in the failed war on drugs in South America. As with other wars, there is a cost in human lives and American tax money (over $20 Billion this year so far alone). And in this case, as well as with other illegitimate wars, all of this is exchanged for little, if not counterproductive results — the end certainly not justifying the means. A true peace candidate would not support an unjust war such as this.
