Please read and post your comments here. . . ., perhaps we should ask ourselves if what we are doing is signing a death warrant for people we don't even know . . . millions of dollars of bombs and missiles -- that you and I paid for -- are being used to kill people . . . That makes you and I culpable in their execution. Did you personally know any of the people who were killed last week? Had they ever done anything to harm you? How about the children who were blown to bits . . . Had they ever threatened you in any way to cause you to have to kill them in self-defense? Can you tell me why you would want to take their lives? I'm sorry to personalize it in this way, but this slaughter is being conducted in your name and mine, and I'll tell you, this is blood I don't want on my hands. We will all have to answer for this some day, and I would like to be able to say that I did not sit by silently while this was being done, and that I did whatever I could to stop it as soon as possible. . . . this is the question I always ask myself when confronted with whether or not I should ever support a war: Do I believe strongly enough in this cause that I MYSELF would be willing to risk my life to go over there and square it with my conscience to kill. Please call or write your member of Congress, send a letter to the editor. This is OUR country, not theirs and the corporate interests they really represent. It's time to start taking it back. Each cruise missile that is launched could have built a dozen schools or hired another hundred teachers or provided health care to a thousand people. Those millions of dollars could have been spent saving lives and educating children. Here’s an interesting exerted article from Michael Moore on the war. Please read and post your comments here.
