Where is money, time best spent?

The three reports I reference are from the Democrat and Chronicle of July 17:

Consider the impact:

A ton and a half of guided bombs and missiles raining destruction on Iraqis and Afghanis with the touch of a "clean" hand from the safety of a Nevada control room.

A Rochester lawyer listening to young people in Darfur talk about their survival.

A Fairport teenager and her parents starting libraries, day-care centers and sending young girls to school in India and Thailand.

Consider the impact:

A four-pack of the "Reaper" drone bombs and missiles costs $69 million.

The cost for J.B. Manin to travel two weeks in Darfur is $5,000.

The cost for the Yogachandra family to send 10 girls to school in Calcutta is $300 a year.

Consider the impact:

Death, destruction, devastation, hatred.

1,900 ambassadors for the youth of Darfur.

Schooling for 230,000 girls in India.

Which will we work for?
