the United States has been involved in the Iraq War for as long as we were involved in World War II. The difference? At this point in WWII, we knew we were on our way to winning.
How much longer are we committed to this blunder? How many more soldiers and innocent citizens will die for the wealth of politicians and businessmen? 2,500 U.S. soldiers so far. Number of Iraqi citizens? Tens of thousands. Why one more?
Benjamin Franklin wrote:
Never has there been a good war or a bad peace.
Why can’t those who lead our nation understand this concept? We must continue to defy our nations war tendencies by changing our consumer attitudes, by educating ourselves to understand our fellow humans, and by striving to always choose non-aggressive means over aggressive measures. We have the capability to think critically, to act rationally, and seek knowledge to better ourselves. Let’s start today!
