Something I would have died for...
...The other day, Will Pitt asked about what one Loves, and what one would be willing to Fight and Die for. Been thinking about that ever since....

I have an answer to the "What would I die for?"

I would have died to prevent 9/11. I would have done everything one could possibly do to keep those buildings from being hit and destroyed. If only they had alerted me to the intelligence they had in August, 2001, I would have put my life on the line to stop it. I would have dropped all other concerns and done my absolute best to avert that disaster.

That would have been something worth dieing for, eh?

1. I would ....
give my life to bring a legitimate democracy to America...

Yes, I would...... And I would get more of 'them' before they got me..

Someday, and I don't know when, (but I believe it will because our earth is in turmoil), we will have this battle...

For legitimate survival... not for power or greed....

2. I missed Will's question but since you asked...
I thought about this before I went 2 my first pre-invasion demonstration. I do not trust this government and had no idea how they would treat people they view as threats. I decided that if they would desire 2 harm me for marching in the streets...so be it. It was all I could do and I HAD 2 do something.

I will readily give my life to prevent the Bush neoconster regime from solidifying their dictatorship.

Count on it.

And, MNA has issued a "Desperate Neoconster ALERT":

Emad Hajjaj, Al-Ghad Newspaper, Amman, Jordan

Peace.


www.missionnotaccomplished.us - how ever long it takes, the day must come when tens of millions of caring individuals peacefully but persistently defy the dictator, deny the corporatists cash flow, and halt the evil being done in Iraq and in all the other places the Bu$h neoconster regime is destroying civilization and the environment in the name of "America."

5. See ! ! ! Now most of the neocon radicals think that liberals...
are not willing to fight and die...

I'd die for my kids which essentially says that I fight and die to protect their chance at freedom and opportunity. I'm fighting now, hopefully it won't come to blows.

8. Right afterward I tried to enlist
I had good technical knowledge in the field of geographic information systems, GPS and aerial photography and a great deal of management experience. I wanted to be an intelligence officer. I was 36 years old and thus ineligible for an officers program and could only join as ordinary enlisted. I chose not to, and now I am glad that it worked out that way.

10. And Gracie Slick says "I would rather my country die for me"
If our country is now what it appears to be then I have to be in agreement with Gracie. I want the America back I would die for.
