I thought we learned something from Vietnam. Obviously, we didn't. I should have learned this from the 1st Gulf War, which was sold on a bunch of lies just like this one was.

When this embarassingly pitiful excuse for a 'president' started beating the war drums, setting the stage for his illegal war with the lies his co-conspirators had been working on for so long, I was encouraged by the amount of people who stood up and said, "NOT IN OUR NAME!" I was optimistic, thinking of all the parents who I knew would not want their children sacrificed for such a pointless and stupid 'war'.

Now here we are, with our treasury trillions lighter and with thousands of lives lost or changed forever, and no end in sight.

Some days I wish I had no hope.
