This strip was my attempt to talk about some the economic impacts of war. It's so complicated and hard to jam into one page, but I think it came out well. I could probably do a 100 page comic on this easy. But for now, I like to stick with the broad strokes. For more comics visit:
Mother: my son’s school misused its power when it said the US misused its power
Kara Sands’s son came home one day from school with a perfect 100% score on a quiz that asked 'Why might the United States be a target for terrorism?' with the possible answers A) Other people just don’t like Americans, B) Decisions we made in the United States have had negative effects on people elsewhere, C) Terrorists hate everyone, or D) None of the above. The boy answered B. This question and its correct answer are both misleading and a little annoying. Undoubtedly more people than just...
The Antiwar Comic: Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste
Hey, sorry for the late post. Had some technical issues on the site the other day. This strip (and I loathe to use the word "inspired") but it was thought up after I heard that famous Rahm Emanuel phrase. If you've been listening to Scott's program for a while, none of this will come as a shock to you.

Obama’s Persecution of Bradley Manning By Anthony Gregory
Thanks to Bradley Manning, the world learned important information about the U.S. government’s misconduct abroad. He pled guilty February 28 to leaking 700,000 documents to WikiLeaks, the international source that has exposed the malfeasance of institutions the world over. He leaked these documents to reveal the government’s obsession 'with killing and capturing people' and 'to make the world a better place.' The documents shined light on mistreated detainees at Guantánamo and such atrocities...
Wow. That’s Awesome.
Like the tyrants of old, Obama needed a food taster before dining with senators. (Plagiarized from LewRockwell.com)
Some Articles on the Costs of War
The Second Iraq War will cost not 3, not 5, 6 trillion dollars before it's all said and done. Maybe more. Millions went to war in Iraq, Afghanistan, leaving many with lifelong scars Whistleblower accuses government of neglecting suicidal veterans and suppressing science Ex-soldiers more likely to commit violent crime, study claims (video) (UK)

The Antiwar Comic: Just Keep Shooting and Shut Up
Isn't it amazing that in this day and age, we're still imprisoning the guys that expose war crimes while seemingly giving a pass to those that commit them? This is what war does to a country, I guess. For more comics, check out:
I Still Don’t Like Rand Paul
Yesterday Senator Rand Paul filibustered the nomination of John Brennan to head the CIA over the Obama administration’s refusal to renounce their self-appointed authority to murder American citizens on American soil. It was pretty great for bringing attention to the issue, but really, so what if he had one good day? Rand still stabbed his dad, and the rest of us, in the back by endorsing Mitt Romney. He’s horrible on Guantanamo and on accountability for torturers. He’s also bad on Iran...
The Antiwar Comic: The Whores of Terror
Through Scott's radio show and Antiwar.com, I've really learned a lot. Learning about the history of the MEK and who supported it really shocked me. I had always thought Ed Rendell was a good mayor and a good guy until I read about his support. What was he thinking? More more comics visit:
