One big aid to convincing that third is the book "Addicted to War: 
Why the US Can't Kick Militarism" -- by joel Andreas.  It is 
"liberal" and cartoon style, easy to read, packed with info, and 
could be used in schools. --  Any teachers out there could get a copy 
for their school libraries, it is about $8.00
