Our Impending Destruction

A cheery prognosis from children's-literature lady Helen Caldecott, from a site the specializes in upbeat commentary. She says Bush's reelection will destroy planet Earth.

Well, she actually says that Bush "threatens mankind" and we should expect "endless war, and I think that could mean nuclear war". She did win a Nobel Peace Prize, so she probably hangs out with the other award-winners and peace experts.

Caldecott spent the 1980s in the disarmament movement. This is the movement that used protest marches and teach-ins to convince Reagan and the Soviets of the moral virtues of a nuclear freeze, thereby ending the Cold War and bringing peace to Eastern Europe.
