1. Some of us have decided that it wasn't worth one life
but are powerless in a country that is not a Democracy.

2. When the draft is reinstated
and the Freepers can no longer just support the war on the sidelines but actually go and fight.

3. Vietnam took 10 years, 58,000 deaths.
And some people still haven't figured out that was a mistake. :puke:

4. If Iraq's oil was back in the hands of the Iraqis, and the French,
Russians and Germans had their contracts reinstated.... we would be outa there like a tumbling tumbleweed in no time.

5. The War President and his lil war to distract us from HIS FAILURES
at home........He is a loser, he has not done one positive thing yet for this Nation except spend tons of precious monies and lost a lot of Blood.

Its the Big Picture folks. Keep our minds on the BIG PICTURE. THE RESULTS of Bush being in OFFICE. Never mind the flips and the flops, the medals and the surfing, those are small distractions from BUSHES SORRY ASS RECORD of FAILURE..

He even failed at protecting this Nation.. Even after all the warnings..in 2001, he did not warn us, he did not upgrade the level at the airports, he did not even tell his FAA, Police, etc that he was warned.

Worse. The Hart Rudman Commission spent $24,776,745.89, approx, on how to protect this Nation from Terrorists. Took 2.6 years. Bush rejected the answers that would have prevented those knives coming aboard our public aircraft. He wasted that money and all the efforts of many people and time. Gone, down the drain....

and now look, he gets away with it with small distractive shit.

6. The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind.
What's really changed since Dylan penned these lyrics? Americans have a bloodlust which can't be satisfied no matter what they lose along the way.

8. $3.00 a gallon. That's when it will not have been worth it.
It's sad, but I think most people can't relate to people they don't know dying.

But when they go to the gas station, and gas costs more because of the monumental screwup in Iraq, they feel the pain in their wallet.

Is there a planet where human beings live? Please God, take me there!

9. The one and only Planet where Humans live is Here on Earth
and we are destroying whatever chances of a good life...choosing, instead, a life of fear and misery under the thumbs of the Ruling Class.....

The Bush Boys, when it comes to Ruling, are over the top with arrogance and self interest...
