A Life, Wasted
Let's Stop This War Before More Heroes Are Killed
By Paul E. Schroeder

Early on Aug. 3, 2005, we heard that 14 Marines had been killed in Haditha, Iraq. Our son, Lance Cpl. Edward "Augie" Schroeder II, was stationed there. At 10:45 a.m. two Marines showed up at our door.
Read the rest here.
How many is too many? How can that idiot in the White House keep avoiding impeachment? What's wrong with our "representatives"? They impeach Clinton because he lied about a blow job but Bush lies about the justification for sending our young men off to die and he gets away with it??
This is not right. Not right AT ALL.

Date: 1/3/06 04:38 pm (UTC)I do hope, sort of, that some day Iraq will be a better place, but I sure don't see that happening soon, and I also don't think they will remember America as their saviors. What will be remembered is the destruction and the death, and the children of the people who were killed will grow up hating America because of it.
Bush will never think he is wrong. That's the saddest part.
I was re-reading Jingo by Terry Pratchett recently (highly recommend it) and it is about a war, and in it a character says that, and I'm paraphrasing, 'there are many reasons to go to war with Ankh-Morpork (fictional city-state in the Discworld), a lie isn't one of them.'
I thought that the same thing could be said of our situation.
