It's very hard to face the fact the government killed your kid for nothing |
|
but money. That's why more mothers haven't stepped up to the plate. They don't want to believe their children died in vain. I think Cindy's vocalization of the fact will help more to come forward and face the facts.
1. There were no WMD in Iraq. 2. Iraq did not attack us on 9/11. 3. Thousands upon thousands of innocent Iraqis are dead. 4. Our invasion of a sovereign nation has turned that nation into chaos and provoked an unsurgency which has taken the lives of nearly 2000 Americans. (We're getting close to the number killed on 9/11 by terrorists - not Iraqis.) 5. People in Iraq are now killing and kidnapping each other at an alarming rate. Kidnapping has become a big part of the economy. 6. People in Iraq are still without basic services most of the time. 7. Halliburton is posting record profits. 8. Oil companies are posting record profits. 9. American citizens cannot afford to drive to work anymore. 10. Oil company investers, including a lot, a lot, of politicians are getting grossly rich. 11. Terrorism has increased around the world as a direct result of our invasion of Iraq.
It's hard to believe our government would kill our children for nothing - but money. I wonder how the Viet Nam mothers feel about this war?

2. But all American mothers need to come to realize that ... |
|
this Administration WILL send their children to die for oil, if the Administration can get their hands on those children. And the Bushista's plans will ultimately require a draft.

3. They will never ALL come to realize that and I believe a draft would be |
|
the quickest way to end this war. It's a scary thought, but I know in my heart it would be over in a minute, if everybody had to go. What's scarier, though, is they are gearing up of Iran. If they can convince enough people they are a threat, even the draft wouldn't wake people up.
Anyway, if enough mom's find courage in Cindy, she will have planted the seed to bring this whole thing to an end.
