What War is Good For

What War is Good For
Every morning, my commute to work takes me from the politically conservative suburb of Franklin, where you'll see plenty of yellow ribbons and American flags, to the liberal heart of Nashville - the old neighborhoods around Vanderbilt University - where many of the front yards are dotted with signs that say "Why War? Wage Peace". The signs are provided by the Nashville Peace & Justice Center, an organization with communist ties.

Why war? The answer is simple. Because sometimes war is the only way to open the doors and set free the children locked in a fascist regime's child jails, shut down a regime's torture centers, and liberate the people of an oppressed nation.
