Even one death in this illegal, uneccessary war is one too many.

I have this to say, stop the war. When you shoot at someone intending to kill that doesn't do anything to help anyone in any way.

Killing no way to solve a problem. Killing only causes pain and grief. I'm begging for this war to stop.

[poisonmist13]

I don't understand why people have such a hard time acepting that this war is a mistake!

The war has killed more people than any terrorist could even dream of killing!

Iraq & the whole Middle East has been on the US Governments radar for 20+yrs. When Iran iced the Shah it burned the US Government's ass. They thought they'd get a foot in the Middle East (aka easier access to oil) by backing Israel. Anyone remember Iran/Contra? How about the US actually SUPPORTING Sadam during the Iran-Iraq war? Read the history & LEARN from it. If Iran gets invaded then welcome to Orwell's 1984 - guess what? It ain't fiction anymore folks

Your children will be enslaved. They will not have the opportunity you have had in the past. Soon, you will be telling your children how it "used to be in America". The Trans Texas Corridor will be in effect soon and Canada - Mexico - and the United States of America will be combined. We have lost our sovereighty and we lost habeas corpus - all of our freedoms do no longer exist because of Bush's PATRIOT ACT.

Wake up.........Halliburton is killing our troops. There is so much bacteria in the water the troops are using that some will come home with all sort of bacterial problems. Men wanting to wash their own clothing have been told they are not allowed to do that. The laundry comes back scrundgy and some of the troops want to do their own. Halliburton gets $99.00 a bag for doing the laundry.

'HOMELAND' What does that make you think of?

Nazi Germany.....that is exactly where we are headed if people do not wake up.

[Goldbuckles]

you tell them!!....when they send a truck over to Iraq....they do not even send "tires" if they get a flat. They just destroy the vehicle when it "needs" anything. They do not even have oil filters....when the engine blows.....they destroy it. Some smart people we have in control of our country!

If you support the war you support stupid killing. I'm not saying I agree with anything the terrorists are doing, but going over there and killing everyone wasn't the best thing to do ether.(Duh)
