Members of the "money trumps peace" crowd have used the US Treasury to enrich their cronies and class. For the cost of the Iraq War, we could have replaced the nation's energy grid with a sustainable, environmentally-safe system. That's using the technology we have and money that has been wasted to kill people in the name of Big Oil and our friends who bank in Switzerland.

We need a new system. One based on peace, problem solving and prosperity. We know what needs to be done. We just need our political leaders to stop representing the elites and start to put into action a plan that not only meets the challenges, but helps the nation and humanity thrive on levels greater than the economic.
