Why in the world is an African-American President continuing to allow Africom to exist, to meddle, to interfere? Is a big military outpost on the African continent really an idea of the future, or a leftover from a discredited past of colonization and control?
I came across this interesting web site/article through a link from blogger AliceDem on OpenLeft, who also commented that "we are borrowing money from the Chinese in order to compete with China in Africa." Good line. Bad idea.
And yet another place we could save some money for health care for all...

About Me
- MilitaryBudgetCutsNow.org
- I am a long-time antiwar activist who believes that the U.S. spends too much of its budget on wars and on preparing for wars, and not enough on meeting the needs of its own people. So when we go looking for the money we need for new initiatives in health care, economic recovery programs, or alternative energy projects, I think we can find much of it in a military budget which has been bloated beyond recognition during the Bush/Cheney years.
