"The fight is never about grapes or lettuce. It is always about people." Cesar Chavez |
:: Tuesday, March 11, 2003 ::
AlterNet: Wake America from Its Bloodless Trance by Ben Cohen America has two options to disarm and contain Iraq. One option - war - involves killing people. The other option - more and tougher inspections - does not.
Americans, who overwhelmingly oppose the Iraq war if high numbers of casualties result, haven't heard enough about the deaths that are sure to be caused by the war option. That's why I created a television advertisement, featuring hip-hop artist Russell Simmons, that includes video footage of actual war - of wounded civilians and of American soldiers dragging the bodies of their comrades out of harm's way.
I think most of you would want to see my advertisement and decide for yourself whether you agree with an aging ice cream guy or think I am crazy, misinformed, stoned, stupid, or much worse.
Unfortunately, most of you will never see my anti-war commercial. Why? Because the major network news outlets refused to accept it, claiming that the imagery was too graphic.------------------------------------------- posted 8:49 PM :: reference link ::
