Now is not the time to spend money on the military.

The casualties in Haiti should be helped as much as possible. Seeing their miserable condition makes us sad, and I must do everything I can. The fact that the earthquake occurred in the poorest country makes matters worse. I never saw people fight for relief supplies before. Helping the casualties while also improving their living conditions needs quick action. We are all citizens of earth.
 We must spend our resources on people’s safety and comfort. That requires much money. Even though we shouldn’t waste, we spend 1.15 trillion dollars, 2.4% of the world’s G.N.P., on the military. Some say an army will protect our lives and prosperity. But war is nothing but killing and destroying. To prepare for natural disasters should be the first priority. Now is not the time to spend money on the military.
