Ally News: 40, 000 Murdered in Iraq and US is staying in it for "our kids"
Sometimes I feel so helpless to do anything about the Iraq war that I ignore the headlines. Maybe you do the same thing. Here are a few facts about what's going on now.
The US has murdered or helped to murder upwards of 40,000 Iraqis.
Tuesday, Bush went to Iraq for a surprise visit, where he was quoted as saying, "I was inspired to be able to visit the capital of a free and democratic Iraq." That night new security measures went into effect with 40,000 troops patrolling the streets, cars banned on Fridays, and an 8pm curfew. Today, at least 11 people were killed in Baghdad during a suicide bombing.
Also, as of yesterday, the US has assisted in the murder of 2500 US soldiers through the continued war effort. In reference to the US deaths, US army's Brig Gen Carter Ham (don't ask me what his title means) said, "It's important to remember that there is a mission, and there is a greater good which sometimes necessitates tremendous sacrifice."
Today, the House of Representatives passed a motion backing the president's handling of the Iraq war and rejecting a deadline for withdrawing US troops. While debating the motion, Republican House majority leader John Boehner, said "achieving victory is our only option, for the American people and our kids."

I can't believe our government is behind the president. Everyone likes to blame Bush for the current state of affairs, but aren't we all to blame for it being done for us, "the kids". Vietnam. Do you think our generation could ever be a radical political force?
