End Globalization AND the Iraq War

I was an opponent of the Iraq war from the first. But I fail to see how ending this war will end the nausea of globalization (job loss, job insecurity, and falling income in particular) for America's middle class. I don't know of serious policy person who connects the end of the this war with an upsurge of fortune for America's working families. This is a certain blue sky charm in wishing it were so, but I suspect that doesn't pencil out.

National health care does not compensate for decent jobs.
Re-training funds don't either. Neither to R&D credits.

America's middle class enjoys the least security, the poorest benefits, and works harder than the middle class in any other developed country. Correct me if I'm wrong, but my impression is that not only are we getting less, we are working harder than ever.

Not only that, we've basically given the free traders and the corporatists everything they ever wanted, and then some. We gave them huge tax cuts to go with their free trade gravy train. We let them walk away from pensions and health benefits. Basically it was: anything you want that we can give you, you will get.

And the reason was, we were supposed to be in this together.

Under globalization, we're not.

After all the giveaways, the tax benefits and cuts and credits, the corporatists stampede for the exits, trashing communities and cities, individuals and families, in the process. That's globalization, the reality.

It's ugly. I'm sick of it. End it now.
