Freddy's Belated Memorial Day Post

Since I have nothing else this morning, I'll post this piece from Counterpunch. I was thinking of posting it on Tuesday. I didn't want to put it up on Memorial Day and ruin anyone's holiday, now would I? Why do I feel that way when I have no problem trying to ruin people's Christmas?

Anyway, Bill Quigley wonders why we pray for peace while being the most warlike nation on the planet:

"Memorial Day is, by federal law, a day of prayer for permanent peace. But is it possible to honestly pray for peace while our country is far and away number one in the world in waging war, military presence, military spending and the sale of weapons around the world?"
