The Iraq war has become a euphemism, it's now just that tired old Bush/Neocon war over in Iraq. It seems we've grown accustomed to the horrors of war, the politics, the oil, the meaninglessness, all have been relegated to the back of our minds. The mainstream media feeds us "good news" about how there are LESS deaths and injuries. Whoopee-do! As if numbers going down mean anything to a grieving family's loss.

The fact that it is still going on, is enough to make a Nation weep, but do we shed any tears? Nope, we are too busy buying the needless crap that China has oversold us.It's beyond disgusting and I am as guilty as the rest of you good little American consumers.

When a news article such as this sad "Read Capt. Adam Snyder's last e-mail home", comes our way, it's sort of like a resurrection to our collective conscience. It turns our thoughts back to the virtual Banging On The Doors of Our Leaders, to tell them, again, STOP THIS WAR AND BRING OUR TROOPS HOME. Why do we have to wait until Bozo the President is out of office? What kind of a game is this, they are playing? These are not rhetorical questions, they need answers. But do they even try to give us resolutions? Not as long as we continue to do as we are conditioned to do. That is, take our plastic FUNNYMONEY to the malls and buy the dangerous claptraps from China. They tell us, the war is doing well, so we need not worry! All the while, there are still young men and women dying in an illegal war. thinkingblue
