1. "Shrapnel"? Thanks to SBVT, I know nobody dies from shrapnel!

Where's clever band-aid?

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. Here :: passes band aid:

Make sure you draw a clever purple heart on it

We both know that nobody dies from hot metal piercing their body...heck we know nobody dies in war.

Damn the fantasy these liars live in

[UpInArms]

2. Thus we start a new and dreaded "millennium."

Mr Bu$h? Mr. Cheney? Care to comment?

7. All Cheney had to say was that he can't wait for his next duck hunting

trip with Supreme Court Justice Scalia. junior is gonna loan Dickie one good duck hunting dog.


Alpo and good Milkbones is all that it takes.

[Flagg]

3. And this is only the beginning.

The troops are supposed to stay over there for at least the next 4 freaking years.


HOw insane is that ?

I'm not American but can you guys endure another 4 or 5 years of this?????????

Why aren't you in the streets ??????????


You need to be a little bit more active.

THere should be millions of people demonstarting against this slaughter at least once evrey week.

DO SOMETHING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just my 2 cents.

8. I am a US citizen

but I have lived in France and Mexico, took to the streets often took to the streets during the Vietnam war as well. Americans are a strange lot. In the 1800's and early 1900's and the 60's they took to the streets quite often, but now .... A lot of people seem afraid too. I think the Reagan years were catastrophic to the American mind. I was in France during that time, but when I saw the funeral series on the times I was agast.

11. Why?

>> Why aren't you in the streets ?????????? <<

For many of the same reasons people weren't out in the streets in the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany.

15. I've been

to Peace Rallies in ABQ and Santa Fe. There are some nasty freepers out there but so far nothing rough.

4. Wolf on cnn just said it's up to 1002 now

i'm thinking some of these happened last week during hate-a-plooza and centcom held back.

17. I agree

They are following their corporate masters

[acmavm]

5. Grand Island, Nebraska. Poor boy only 21 years old and gone. Why

doesn't anyone try to prosecute these bastards for misleading the Congress and the American people. BECAUSE EVERY DAMN THING THEY SAID IN THE LEAD UP TO THE WAR WAS A LIE. And because bush* was given his power to start this war based on specific conditions which he chose to ignore. His powers were limited. They were based on conditions that he intentionally chose not to meet. He needs to be tried for war crimes. They all do.

9. They died for Halliburton Profits

[murray hill farm]

10. Time for a march on Washington DC

[Minstrel Boy]

13. The first thousand is always the hardest.

Catastrophe accomplished.
