Iraq. (Rant follows.)

[Cleita]

I have to say this. There is no logical reason why we attacked Iraq. There is no logical reason we are there. There is no logical reason this blood is on our hands. I have lived through WWII, the Korean war, the horror of Vietnam, not on the battlefield but with the angst of the veterans who survived, but there was always a reason, no matter how fragile that somehow the sacrifices were worthwhile because we were, we thought, defending the free world from totalitarian tyrants who also had nuclear weapons like we did.

This war is nothing more than a pirate’s raid for territory and booty. The blood is spilled; the bodies come home; the enemy is not cooperating like planned….

The whole thing has been a staged like a heroic movie complete with playthings like the Bush aviator doll, no different than the Luke Skywalker doll, or Frodo Baggins doll from movies that are FANTASY FICTION! This war isn’t fiction! There is real blood being spilled on every side. There is real suffering and lives that are permanently ruined forever.

I am entering a stage in my life were I don’t really care what I say or do to end this because someone has to speak up. If they have a bug on my computer, so be it. But I believe if there are further terrorist attacks on Americans it will be because the idiots who have stolen our nation have brought this Armageddon upon us and we will pay the price of their perdition no matter how much we fought them, nor how innocent we were of this disastrous scenario.

The horror….

2. Your absolutely right on all points

it's hard to believe this is the country I grew up in. What have they done? We'll be paying for this one for a long time to come.

6. More soldiers killed today in Iraq.

How long are we going to let this happen before we stand up to the idiot and chief and force him to go beggin the UN and allies to bail us out.

7. Iraq is a Free Nation

that's what they say. That means we are now free to leave. The dues will be payable for a long, long time, but for now the best thing we can do is say "Mission Accomplished" and Bring Our Troops Home. Then vote out the bastards that started this shit. I'm sick from it and will never forget, but hope the Iraqi people will forgive.

8. There is a logical reason for why the US attacked Iraq.

Our government is in the control of fascists.

Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don't want war neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country. -- Hermann Goering

Works every time.

9. Volunteers of America?

Are there any volunteers in America? Got a revolution, want a revolution?
If the Bu$h*t's steal the 2004 election will you be ready to take back your country?
Bring our troops home we need them here to liberate the U.S!

10. Maybe the Canadians and Mexicans will liberate us.

I hope someone does.
