- No Good Reason For War
-
The jury's in, the U.K. Butler report, the Australian Flood report, and
now the 911 Commission report. No one seems to know quite why the U.S.
went to war on Iraq. No one's responsible for mistakes. On a Friday
in September 2001 Congress voted to launch impetuous war, consenting to
surrender the power of the people's representatives to the President,
George W. Bush. The people who represent us gave up their power by
agreeing without a second thought. Only Representative Barbara Lee
from the Ninth Congressional District in California (see http://www.house.gov/lee/) stood
back to consider the vote carefully. The Alameda Report recalls her
prophetic statement.
