Wars cannot be both Planned and Avoided by David Swanson http://usa.mediamonitors.net/content/view/full/84531

"A campaign to defund the war machine can also be a campaign to fund jobs, schools, housing, transportation, green energy, and everything else that should be funded. Such a two-sided campaign can bring peace activists together with activists for domestic causes. When that happens in a big enough way, our culture will change, war lies will not seem credible, and war will be a thing of the past."
