I would like to know why

So, supposedly the reason behind going to war in Iraq was to prevent things like 9/11 from happening. Over 2,000 people died that day, and yes it was a horrible tragedy. I remember that day better than I remember all my homecomings and proms…

But, the death toll for AMERICANS that have died fighting ‘Nam II has now reached well over 4,000. That is just Americans.. that doesn’t count the infinate number of helpless, innocent women and CHILDREN that have died in Iraq for simply being born in the wrong country and culture.

So if preventing more deaths was the idea… well that one didn’t really pan out.

And if trying to force other countries to “respect” the US was the point… well now they just hate us even more!

Seems that all this has done NO good and ALL harm. I realize it’s not something that can happen tomorrow, but we really all need to pull together as a country and stand up for the ones who either can’t stand up for themselves or buy so far into the bullshit brainwashing they will believe whatever the government tells us to.

Vote

Protest

Speak out

Rally together

Give peace a chance! – Seriously though… where are our John Lennons and MLKs of 2008? If they are out there, we need them now.

Please… do something, ANYTHING to help put the wheels in motion that will eventually end this endless war.
