Militarism Is Destroying America
but we're fighting back – and we can win.
We can't do it, however, without your help.
Think
of the costs of our foreign policy of perpetual war: the Iraq war alone
may end up costing us $2
trillion. Billions more go to the maintenance of a network
of bases worldwide that guard the far frontier of the Empire.
Think of what we could do with all that wealth right here at home.
America doesn't have the money to fix its decaying bridges and roads, which are collapsing under our feet – and yet we are building an "embassy" in Iraq that is bigger than the Vatican, at a fantastic cost.
When are we going to get our priorities straight? And speaking of priorities…
Our first priority is to you, our readers. We give you the unvarnished truth about the conduct of American foreign policy. But we can't continue without your financial support – and if we don't get a "surge" in contributions, you'll see cutbacks in coverage. Soon.
Everybody has their priorities. For the cost of a good lunch at a nice restaurant, you can help us make our fundraising goal. As nonprofits go, we run a very tight ship, but we need to make our fundraising goal in order to ensure our continued survival. Your contribution is tax-deductible – which means you can actually divert money away from the war machine and toward a peaceful tomorrow. So what are you waiting for?
Sorry for
the interruption.
