Abstract:
Military spending now takes over half of federal discretionary spending.
We lack world quality schools, healthcare, transportation, and energy, because we choose aircraft carriers, missiles, bombs, and billionaires.
In the process we lose civil liberties; we destroy the natural environment; we make our nation and others less safe.
We must collectively take on the military industrial complex.
With Jeff Cohen moderating, David Swanson, Ann Wright, Medea Benjamin, and Glen Ford will present new approaches to creating peace in a roundtable format including brief opening remarks and lots of questions from participants.
Panel Topics:
International
Middle East
