2. I went to see F/911 yesterday. I had to leave the theater to go
cry out loud in the bathroom... get a grip of myself and then finish watching the movie... those children JUST BROKE MY HEART. And it is my taxes that are helping with this.

The truly sad thing is that half of your country.. (my country) believes in all this nonsense. Bush fell right into Bin Laden's propagana... did exactly what he predicted... these so called leaders are lacking in the common sense area. They have brought shame and an even greater danger to our nation with their maverick ways.

6. Don't Believe The Hype
"The truly sad thing is that half of your country.. (my country) believes in all this nonsense."

They aren't really half of the country. They are only half, if that many, of people who vote, which is only about one third of the country. Expect that to be different this election.

4. Bring Those Responsible To Justice
All of them, both the terrorists in our administration and those abroad. Then, give them the time and space they need to recover, if they ever can. Make sure someone is available to help them, as needed.

Many people are responsible for this, both those who actively caused it to happen and those who did nothing to stop it from happening. It's time for people to be responsible for their actions.

9. Just to add a qualifier: 1,000 refers to all coalition deaths
Not US deaths, which is around 880. Obviously, this doesn't take away from your point, but remember that any inaccuracy hurts your credibility, especially when arguing with Republicans who cathect on little things rather than hearing the main point.

13. Um, those people were adults, not children.
This will sound harsh, but if one wants to sign up to be a paid killer, the risks should be obvious.

15. They wont apologize. They are arrogant bastards who dont care
None of the civilians, or the soldiers who died or are wounded mean anything to these people. These people are wealthy, ignorant, horrific inhumane bastards who dont care who they kill so long as they can use people like cannon fodder to continue staying in power and buying themselves baubles and crap to make themselves feel like they are Very Important People.
They arent. These people, like Dick Cheney, will die someday. They will lie on their deathbeds, and have to face themselves. I dont envy them that.
They will have to face the fears, the horror, and the murderous acts of their lives.
All the money and power in the world wont save them from that.
Many of them will die in anger, because they will realize money bought them nothing.
They will realize they lived lives of emptiness and despair. Grasping for things that cannot ward off their own deaths, no matter how much they acquired.
The love of money is the root of all evil. Too bad those who tout their monetary holdings alongside their so called "christian" ranting never read that part of the Bible.
In the meantime, all of the civilians and soldiers who died, died for nothing.
The horror of that, as it comes to bear on the American people's psyche, is going to knock a lot of people into horrific depression and anger..and the truth is coming out.
Its unbearable to some people, but deep down they know its true, and denial is a hard thing to break out of. People use denial to avoid emotional pain.
Eventually, they will have to face the truth.
Every one of the people who died in Iraq, soldier and civilian, died for nothing.
