The reasons why I'm angry have reached 4000; A response to my republican brother.
Here is why I’m angry. Read the whole thing, including all the responses. And then realize that I hate this war more than I’ve ever hated anything. And I hate the fact that you justify it and support it and that you are so blinded to the reality of what we are doing to these people who never hurt us in any way. I am sick to the depths of my soul that 4000 American soldiers and a fucking million Iraqi people have died in this monstrous war. I am ashamed and diminished as a human being by it. But like Dick Cheney, your attitude has pretty much been “So?” How you can give a shit about the fetus in some stranger’s womb and not care that our so-called leaders have literally destroyed that country is beyond my ability to comprehend. I hate the fact that you have allowed your mind to become so clouded with right wing propaganda and fundamentalist Christian dogma that you cannot see the evil that our so-called leaders are doing in our names. This is not about democracy, it is about profit. And it is obscene. And it is shameful.

You asked me why I’m angry. If you honestly want to know, here you go.

4. Like you I am incensed. Just heartsick and incensed
I succeed in having a life by keeping the war in the background. I try not to think abt it.

We live in an oligarchy. We have sham elections, and the situation will not reverse until soemthing major happens.

Everyone inteh streets with sledgehammers. or whatever. (My big fear is that that mayhappen -w e might get to the point that there is Civil war. Or worse Aneven buigger fear I carry is that the American democratic way of life may go away totally - not with a bang but a whimper.)

And the media that drones on and influences so many really needs to be toppled.

And the Congress critters need to be given pink slips.
