I have to wonder why we need to call the reps to prevent attack on Iran
I know the language was pulled out of the bill which allows bush to attack Iran without congress approval . Now one would think that at least the Dems would know the danger of this .

I have called my reps , never got an answer so I don't have a clue whether they listen or not .

I can't get my mind around why they pulled this language other than pressure from AIPAC .

Now with all the posts on this pending April 6th attack and many liberal talks shows bring this up . Hell months ago even Randi was saying we will attack Iran now she thinks not .

All this back and forth bullshit is almost as bad as the lies flowing out of the bush admin .

I do not want anymore war ever , never wanted the one with Afghanistan after 9/11 because wars never solve a thing , we should know this by now , it is obvious we don't .

Now I am hearing that the repugs have a under the radar plan to re-deploy troops and this is all based on elections , if so this is just another reason this political system is nothing more than one sick game .

All I know for certain is this economy is screwed , there are many deaths for nothing , there were trillions wasted on the war machine , there are alot of very wealthy stock holders and corporations and CEO's .

And we have no secure or inspected food sources , human or pets .

We have lost most of our rights and have increased pollution removing regulations , we have no healthcare or other safety nets , we have horrid conditions for vets .

So what do we have , we certainly don't have much to be proud of and we certainly don't have america anylonger , it is just a word left to describe a land mass , that is until we are called the north american trade union , ak corporate america .

1. "war never solved anything"
how could you say that? War has helped feed vast numbers of starving businessman from the military industrial complex. Not to mention the starving oil company CEOs, who have made the greatest profits in history since this war started.
