Stop the War Machine

Thomas Friedman in his book praising global capitalism, The Lexus and the Olive Tree, wrote that the sweatshops of corporate profit machines like Coke, Nike, Exxon, Chevron-Texaco and McDonalds could not exist without the war machine of McDonnell-Douglas, Boeing, Lockheed-Martin and others. (2) As a measure of how far we have falen from common sense, Friedman’s acceptance of global inequalities and more American military power to police the world is widely received as a progressive feature of the modern economy. This untenable situation is due to the unchallenged legitimacy of the military-industrial complex inside our own country.
