  War is not Green

  I want to agree with Dog Papa about war being not so friendly to the global environment. War is not very Green, is it? Think about it for a minute. The making of weapons, the shipping of materiel and soldiers,the driving around in vehicles that get 47 feet per gallon, I suspect there isn't any admiral or general assigned the task of environmental risk assessment. Bombs hurt not only people but the ground, the water, especially those nasty and infrequently discussed DU bombs. Definitely not enviro-friendly critters. Then we have this disastrous war which is partly about oil, oil which we know in just about every way imaginable is not kind to the air, water, our bodies, things that grow, birds that fly (I'm thinking of oil spills). You all know this. But the Iraq war is predicated on the assumption that we must continue our lunatic dependence on oil. If Lieberman supports the war ergo he supports continuing to ignore global warming,and in fact despite his "record" is not really a friend to the globe. He's gotta go.On Enviros are split over Lieberman vs. Lamont posted 3 years, 3 months ago 9 Responses
