True.

Killing civilians, children destroying lives by the millions and you would call them heroes? How many innocents must die before your view is subject to further consideration? A Hundred? A Thousand? A Million?
Self defence from arbitrary attack may always be a neccesity. But the use of the lives of men and women as a tool for political power, for economic dominance and for social conversion is an evil. And the results of such endevours? Death, destruction and an unyielding sense of one-mindedness. The usual we are right, you are wrong. We are good, you are bad. We must win, you must loose.
It may seem evil to cease support for the soldiers that are at this moment fighting, but they are perpetuating an evil, and it must be stopped. |
I'm not sure which news you listen to, but you need to stop acting as though EVERY American soldier is trying to cause harm. It's pure bullsh!t and a plain, flat out lie. Most soldiers don't even think we should be in Iraq, but they have to follow orders. Some Iraqis want us over there, others dont. It comes with war. Death and destruction come with war. We are trying to bring peace to the country now, and trying to fix it. Just because you're pissed we're over there, gives you no right to tell us our soldiers are evil.
