MOTHERS AGAINST WAR: ACTIVITIES
For about $40 billion a year, less than the Bush administration
has spent so far this year killing thousands of Iraqi civilians
and keeping the world safe from Suddam Hussein's imaginary weapons
of mass destruction, developing countries could achieve and maintain
universal access to basic education for all, reproductive health
care for all women, and safe water and sanitation for all -- $40
billion per year -- which is less than four percent of the combined
wealth of the world's 225 richest people.
This year, the US government, which
has men-at-arms in about 100 countries around the globe, will spend
about $400 billion on our military . . ., not including expenditures
on homeland security.
