A Decade of the War on Terror..a faceless impossible to define monster that has become the bogeyman

I always thought that congress had to declare war..but I am sure the framers had no idea that congress would declare war on a borderless indefinable concept indefinitely. Trilllions wasted..families destroyed..innocents killed. We have proven ourselves to be the master terrorists when it comes to destroying entire countries, leaving them without even safe drinking water...or hospitals. There are 81 psychiatrists in Iraq right now for 3.1 million people whose lives have been devastated. Unspeakable horror. Terror perpetrated upon innocents in the name of fighting against it. Terror..its a word that has been used by the most sinister black hearted humanity hating profit seeking monsters. I am so sick of it. I am sick that tortured uncharged, prisoners under my countries authority are slowly dying of starvation and no one gives a crap. I am sick of knowing in the pit of my stomach from day one and before that this is evil..dark evil..that is done in our names.
It's humiliating and embarrassing and hurts the depth of my heart and soul. A policy and war that have been wrong from the start.

And done in the name of Fighting Terror? Cmon. We have to put a stop to the use of that as the justification. We really do.
