1. the rising tide of insignificancy

" ... the United States, for generations, has sustained two parallel but opposed states of mind about military atrocities and human rights: one of U.S. benevolence, generally held by the public, and the other of ends-justify-the-means brutality sponsored by counterinsurgency specialists. Normally the specialists carry out their actions in remote locations with little notice in the national press. That allows the public to sustain its faith in a just America, while hard-nosed security and economic interests are still protected in secret. ": Robert Parry, investigative reporter and author

3. MNA Day 3 is only 8 more deaths away.

Peace.


www.missionnotaccomplished.us - Be it MNA Day 3 or 8 or 15 or .... the day will come when 10s of millions of Americans and others stop their typical activities for 24 hours and urge 10 times that many to join should another MNA Day be required. On that glorious day America will have begun truly to be "America," again.

4. Wake up America the Children are Suffering

Activist and reporter Sam Smith said “. . . I suddenly noticed that the truth was no longer setting people free; it was only making them drowsy. So we thought, Then shall we change the style, the manner, in which we tell the truth?”

8. The cost of the war

is not a bunch of domestic, political issues.

The cost of the war is 100,000 Iraqi civilians including 50,000 children.

It is important to discuss the money, too, but human life is more important than money.

10. Agree

There is no more important "cost" than what you state.
