Thisis one hell of a liberation.......
quote------
Public health experts have estimated that around 100,000 Iraqi civilians have died since the United States invaded Iraq in March last year.

In a survey published on the Web site of the Lancet medical journal on Friday, experts from the United States and Iraq also said the risk of death for Iraqi civilians was 2.5 times greater after the invasion.

1. This is why if this country elects Bush, I'm afraid my relationship

to those who vote for him will be forever changed.

I cannot understand what all of this killing and suffering has to do with any kind of goodness for anyone.

NOT in my name!!!

3. Only 30x the death toll of 9/11

boy, this war makes a lot of sense

4. I'm praying for the familes that lost loved ones.

The war did not disarm or liberate Iraq.
U.N. weapons inspectors disarmed Iraq.
Only the Iraqi people can truly find liberation for themselves.

Iraq is an occupied country and we're paying
$4 billion per month for this nonsense.

We've got to get our troops home NOW!

8. Who needs an expensive lawyer when you have a cheap bomb?

Personally, I think litigation (as a form of revenge) is the least of
the problems for the generations to come ...
