What do you think of George McGovern's proposal to spend 1/8 of the money
for fighting terrorism on world hunger?
Read the first chapter
of "The Third Freedom"

"Ending hunger is a greater moral imperative now than ever before,
because for the first time humanity has the instruments in hand to defeat
this cruel enemy at a reasonable cost," writes former Presidential
candidate George McGovern in his new book, "The Third Freedom: Ending
Hunger in Our Time."
Along with former Senator Bob Dole, McGovern is urging that 5 billion
of the $40 billion allocated to the war on terrorism be used to fight
world hunger. With less hunger, McGovern argues, the ability of people
like Osama bin Laden to cultivate followers among the desperately poor
would diminsh. On the day before most Americans will eat a huge Thanksgiving
meal, George McGovern joins us to discuss world hunger.
