The greatest injustice is that the people
who start the wars are not the ones who fight and die.
[Rich nerd playing golf:] My daddy told me I could serve my country
better by going to law school!
Maria Cotto spoke out against this injustice. Her brother was killed in
the Persian Gulf War:
"I saw them on television saying they were spending billions on this. I
saw them on Wall Street and they were cheering. It was sick, they were
cheering like it was a game ..."
"Don't they know it means people will die? Not them. Not their families.
Not their kids. People like my brother." [144]
Ismael Cotto, 27 years old, Bronx, New York. Killed in Saudi Arabia,
Jan. 1991.
For some people war means handsome profits and overseas investment
opportunities.
STOCK PRICES; DAILY NEWS; IT'S WAR!; U.S. WILL PREVAIL -- PRESIDENT
For others the price of war is high.
Mission accomplished!
Unfortunately, the costs of wars are paid by people who have little to
do with starting them!
