6. merh, thank you. i posed this question before bush went on vacation

i read your post each time you update it and think of the lives that have been lost during bush's happy joy down time.

when the iranians held americans hostage in 1979-80., jimmy carter did not go on vacation. he stayed put at the white house to show his support for those hostages and to let the american people know that it was his job to get them home safely.

[merh]

7. I remember that - I remember all too well how he aged during

that crisis, how you could see in his eyes that he was suffering with the hostages, as if he were a hostage too.

You don't see that in the weed that would be king's eyes. They are empty he has no soul.

I will update and repost the thread as long as he is on vacation, each time he vacations. See the names gives a perspective - they are not just numbers - they are members of our families. If I had the money, I would rent a huge neon sign to run this information daily in Crawford and in DC and all the major cities - like the debt clock - only it would be the death toll counter.

The American people need to know the names and pay attention!

We must stop the killings now! :cry: Not.In.My.Name! :cry:
