This is a completely different topic than what I’ve been posting recently, but it’s something that I can go on about for hours. I was reading over my blog the other day, and I realized that I hadn’t said anything about the War in Iraq for a while. With last monday being Memorial Day I got to thinking about all of it. Again I came to the conclusion that the War is stupid…and I think most would agree. Then today I read this article…and it confirmed my conclusion.
“Shots were fired to disable the vehicle,” the military said in a statement e-mailed to The Associated Press. “Coalition forces later received reports from Iraqi police that two women had died from gunshot wounds … and one of the females may have been pregnant.” Jassim’s brother, who was wounded by broken glass, said he did not see any warnings as he sped his sister to the hospital. Her husband was waiting for her there. “I was driving my car at full speed because I did not see any sign or warning from the Americans. It was not until they shot the two bullets that killed my sister and cousin that I stopped,” he said. “God take revenge on the Americans and those who brought them here. They have no regard for our lives.”
You can read the rest of the story here.
2,471 dead US soldiers and 17,869 have been wounded in Iraq. And there is no count for the tens of thousands of Iraqi’s that have died, because of greed.
Mr. President please can I ask you just once
Why do you kill them for fun?
You grin at me and pull the trigger in my direction
While I plead, please give us our sons
Thou shalt not kill but I can still hear the sounds
Of Jezebel laughing in the background
You lived by the sword, now you’ll die by the sword
When God says make love not war
You spilled blood on the floor
Don’t be so blind, can’t you see people are dying
Don’t be so blind, the fault is yours and your noose you’re tying
Don’t be so blind, can’t you see people are dying
Don’t be so blind, can’t you see people are dying out there,
Out there, I can still smell fresh blood in the air
It’s making me sick just to watch the body count
Ten thousand dead & rising
Your cup has been filled, may God be my judge
I wash my hands clean of this gore
You spilled blood on the floor
