Michael Job who served as the Chair of the Veteran's Peace Action Teams and is a Vietnam combat veteran discusses reason behind military action in Iraq. Job and Bonpane discuss the conflicting and confusing multitude of reasons for war with Iraq given by President George Bush (Sr.). They discuss the contradictions and hypocrisy in Bush's arguments, call for more critical thinking by citizens and military personnel. Discuss the similarities between a draft and indentured servitude (slavery), the class issues involved in the war, and the exploitation of the poor by military recruiters. They put the military buildup in the Middle East in perspective by linking it to Regan's Iran Contra affair and attacks on Nicaragua. Call for equality in treatment of countries - foreign military response to US invasion of Panama and Israeli invasion of Syria. They reject double standards and liken Bush's action to starting a global conflict.
