| I just got done screaming at the top of my lungs for ten minutes, so I thought I'd share: On CNN tonight (w/ Paula Zahn), there was a panel of professionals (lawyers and such) commenting/discussing the war. Paula: How do you justify what we are doing in Iraq right now? Conservative Constitutional Lawyer: Well, I can tell we're succeeding because there hasn't been a terrorist attack on United States soil since 9/11. [michelle screams for ten minutes] First of all, just because we haven't had an attack doesn't mean the war in Iraq is preventing that. Before 9/11, the previous attack was in 1993 (the first time the WTC was attacked). Let's do the math, shall we? Eight years. We've only been in Iraq for five years [note, this is the start of the fifth year]. Plus, did we forget that Iraq had absolutely NOTHING to do with the terrorist attack on 9/11. Did we forget that the bombers came from Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan? NOT Iraq. Last night on CNN, Col. Alan King was asked why we shouldn't follow a strategy that outlines prompt withdrawl of troops (the plan made by the Democrats): [Paraphrased, but close] "We shouldn't withdraw troops because it will cause a huge outbreak of violence and gas prices would go up, and that would be a huge inconvience/hardship on our economy right now." Jesus Christ. Only 50% of troops believe that we will succeed in Iraq, and only 32% of the American people approve of the "war". What happened to a government BY THE PEOPLE? |

tails | 03-20-07 3:20am a government by the people was a right we gave up when Nixon was elected. Thats when people started to finally notice that corruption of its self built government was a inescapable destiny. We keep cycling and failing through fear. But now only in recent years have people started standing up again. Started to slowly but surely speak loud enough. Try hard enough. Have a voice in a project we own. the ignorance of one person hardly represents the ideals of the masses. Just keep fighting for what you need to believe n and the rest will follow. Conservative republican representatives are just road blocks you have to slam through with your democratic car of self rights and freedom. |
