Look Beyond War and Peace to Global Justice

Now that we have passed the fifth anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, it's a good time to step back for a look not at how we went wrong but what we need to do to get on the right path.

It has long been a staple of the anti-war movement that there can be no meaningful peace without justice on a global scale. Those of us living in the First World, especially in the United States, cannot pretend to be working for peace unless we also are working for a more just and equitable distribution of the world's resources.
