THOUSANDS dead in 9/11; now THOUSANDS dead in Iraq. Just old news, huh?

FOR WHAT?


How many more will have to pay the ultimate price for this evil insanity?
As I think of my fellow Americans on this Memorial Day, I can't even begin to imagine the pain and agony I would be going through right now if my own child had been a victim of this useless war. How would I be comforted? How can I comfort them? Our beautiful boys and girls being blown up daily. They had lives too. They had their own children. How many girls and boys have been left fatherless or motherless because of this utter insanity? Imagine these same parents when the truth is broadcast nationally and it is revealed that it was merely a concocted war for the benefit of the greedy. Why aren't people marching by the hundreds of THOUSANDS in the streets protesting this? These were living breathing human beings just like you and I.

(ok I'm going to bed -- I have had enough for one day)

2. I watched Nightline's tribute...
about 5 minutes into Koppel reading the names of the fallen soldiers---i turned to my husband and said "He sent this nation's youth into a war by lying and deceiving the American people and NO ONE IS ANGRY ABOUT IT? SHRUB ISN'T BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE for any of this? WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?" I'm telling you---it just blows my friggin' mind!

peace.

3. Somewhere this morning, a little boy woke up to hear his father died.
