140,000 Perdue; Why?

"To our Soldiers"
Our soldier's dedication to fight and die
Should not our Nation tell them why?
Our imagination has no perception of their trepidation
In the midst of this human destruction
The patriots are re-living a terrible war from the past
Except it is not Vietnam, but innumerable Iraqi blasts
58,000 died in that misguided deceptive conflict
Dittoing that war, to our noble warriors, is certainly tragic
How can our "hierarchy" be so cavalier with our troops?
When this present oligarchy never wore the uniform or the boots
It is easy for these heretics to be inept and arrogant
For neither they nor their kin face these countless militants
To spill blood from those who pledge to defend our nation
Don't they deserve better than our careless actions?
Polling indicated, 80% favored this futile invasion
The toll of the dead and wounded is increasing, so where is our compassion?
Time is stealing apace as the bombs keep exploding
Have you given any thought to what our soldiers are thinking?
It is so sad that our soldiers are stuck in that ancient Mesopotamia
All because of Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and others, "enosimania"...

"Enosimania" is a medical term and it means, "an irrational spate of terror". We along with the rest of the world were preached to by this Administration [ochlocracy], as to why we were going to war. Since the invasion, Mr. Bush has given 23 different reasons as to why we sent America's most precious treasure to be maimed and killed. Mr. Bush's decision to send American Soldiers into a futile expedition was buttressed by the 80% of the people who favored the invasion. Where are these people now? As of today, November 17th, 2005, 2067 soldiers have died. More than 17,000 have been severely wounded. What is more important than the plight of our soldiers? Yet, subsequent to the November 2^nd 2004 election, the "media" seems to have become dumbfounded. Other countries have also lost some of their soldiers. In addition, according to a British study, some 100,000 innocent Iraqis have died subsequent to our invasion. We have decimated Iraq, and there seems to be no way out. There is silence everywhere, as to any solution. I do not wish this but common sense tells me this. "Sooner rather than later, we will become no different than Russia, a bankrupt country, with innumerable tons of all kinds of weapons, while China, Japan, The European Union, Africa and South America’s economies would make us insignificant." It took countless people and two hundred and twenty four years to build the United States of America. It took "One man" four years to destroy everything. That is what America gets for wanting a President who they can have a beer with, rather than one who has the intelligence not to drink the beer. Vanity leads to only one road; "Perdition", and there isn't any u-turn."
