Informed Comment King: War Cannot Achieve Even a Negative Good By Juan Cole Monday, January 21, 2008 "We must pursue peaceful ends through peaceful means."

"Reagan and his Saudi and Pakistani allies funneled the lion's share of their covert war aid to Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, the most radical of the Mujahidin leaders. They forced the Soviet Union out, and destroyed the Afghanistan communists, but the ultimate result was the rise of al-Qaeda and the rise of the Taliban."

"Martin Luther King was a man of the future. He saw clearly that humankind has a choice. It is the choice between continuing to wage war, and surviving as a species. King was also a man in a hurry. He did not have much time. Neither do we." Go to site for the rest...it's well worth it...
