Tears following watching the Newshour....

I did not know they show photos of soldiers killed recently in Iraq Tonight they showed four: None of them was over 25. Lives cut too short to settle a Bush family fued. One was 19. Too young.

This must stop.

If this war is so good then why aren't the Bush twins over there? Because children of the wealthy don't have to join the military to get job skills (they don't have to work so why do they need job skills?) nor do they have to join to pay for college (mommy and daddy can write the check for the four year bar tab known as college).

Yeah I am irate. These were very young men. Men who possibly thought of marrying or fathering children one day. Who knows perhaps one or two already have kids. Now those kids are without their father.

I am SO sick and tired of working class kids fighting war for the upper class.

Talk about family values!

end of rant.

1. Of course they have family values.

They value THEIR family-yours can just go f**k itself or die. Has W been to visit wounded vets in the hospital or gone to any funerals yet?

I don't want my son over there, he'll be 16 next month.

3. Neither bush nor cheney have been to their first KIA funeral yet

nor has either one even taken the time to meet a coffin returning to the USA. They have, however, been to approximately 200 repuker fund raisers. The only time bush (the lower case is intentional) will associate with GI's is when there are a lot of cameras present. He is as phony as that turkey he was holding a few months ago.
