3. The kid that grew up right across the street from me

is in the Air Force, a pilot and on the GROUND in Iraq. I have nightmares of seeing the military walking up to the house.

4. Six months ago I was shocked to see the photo and the name of a boy

that lived next door to me in Tucson Arizona. His oldest brother and my son were close friends. This indeed touched home in my heart.

5. The really pathetically putrid thing about

every one of these deaths is that we all know that in a year, two years, five years - whenever - that we will see people hanging from the bottoms of choppers as the US flees from Bhagdad. We will one day haul-ass out of Iraq, leaving everyone and anything that can't be hand-carried out and all of these deaths, Iraqi and American, will be for abso-fucking-lutely nothing! How stupid are we? How fucking stupid are we?

8. The war will benefit those who started it.

CEOs of Halliburton and the rest of the profiteering corporations will be much better off as a result of the war. The rest of us will be left with our dead brothers and sisters and a bankrupt government. We are very stupid as a society when we allow a corporate cabal to gain control of our Nation. They do not care if the USA is in flames when they are finally ejected, as long as they have made a fucking dollar. They will be living somewhere else then, and we will be left with the disaster "the conservatives" leave behind.
