Our Administration is the threat, not them. We cannot continue to allow the criminals to destroy everything and everyone who is good and decent.

It is time we stand up to the bullying. It is being done with OUR taxpayer money and we are the ones who will suffer for it, not George Bush and Dick Cheney. They will just inflict the suffering on all of us.

Look what this Administration has done to Iraq. They have destroyed that country. WE DID NOT DO IT BUT WE WILL BE BLAMED FOR IT. It was done by George Bush, Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney and probably George Bush Sr., but WE WILL BE THE ONES THAT PAY. Not them.

We cannot allow any more destruction.

They will continue to kill and destoy everything, including our country as well if we choose to continue to be passive.

1. Regardless of what we do...
Israel will go right ahead and bomb the fuck out of them if they don't cooperate. And quite possibly even if they do.

3. We need to connect with those in Israel that know its wrong. There
are many of them and they are as concerned and outraged as we are.

We have to stop the killing and the destruction of all that is good. Because that is what they are destroying.

4. Then tell congress to tell Israel that it will not be acceptable
I can't believe that will ever happen, is there a congressperson who opposes any...ANY, Israeli policies? ok, cynthia mckinney... and maybe 5 others.

We should demand this anyway. WWIII is not an acceptable solution.

5. Israel and the US governments seem to enable each other in unhealthy
and destructive ways.

Again, its mainstream people that wind up footing the bill for all of the destruction by those who engage in all the predatory behavior that kills and destroys.

16. Why?
I'm not entirely sure I'd be against Israel taking on Iran if Iran gets anywhere close to having an atomic weapon. It's not a case of an innocent third party here.

25. If Israel wants to take on anyone, that's their busines, not ours. Where
in the Constitution does it say that we are permitted to go around getting involved in disputes between other countries? We are unable to pay for the care of our own veterans, disabled, poor and the working class is royally screwed in this country since this war-mongering began.

This whole thing is a lie, the same lie being told by the same liars who lied about the last war.

I intend to send to my representatives photos of those innocent Iraqi children blown to bits and apparently napalmed because of those lies.

They refuse to acknowledge the huge crime against innocents that this war was. How they sleep at night is beyond me. How anyone can be fooled again by them, is beyond me also.

Iran, Syria and Lebanon are next on the PNAC list. These people need to be jailed, imo for the lies they already told.

The Pentagon Spy trial has revealed that Israel was preparing to plant fake documents in Iraq, meant to show that Iran was planning on building nuclear weapons. Same forgers, same liars helped with this of course.

When the US, Pakistan, India, Israel et al get rid of their Nukes, then we can demand that other countries not have them. Until then, imo, each country, like Iran, that has a neighbor, like Israel with the help of the US, threatening them, has a right to arm themselves however they see fit to protect their citrizens.

Lies, and more lies, it will never end until this administration is held accountable for its crimes against humanity.

Have you read the latest Downing Street memo? How Bush wanted to paint a US plane to look like UN plane and tempt Saddam to shoot at it so that he could get his war?

We are being lied to. Iran is no threat to the US. That would be the only reason for the US to get involved in another war. If Israel decides to start another one, then let them handle it. I doubt they will without backing from the US. Iran will NOT attack Isreal. Just as Saddam would not have either, unless provoked. I am so sick of the lies and the death and destruction.

2. Yeah, i don't want to hear any more very lame excuses that
"I was decieved by this administration". You would have had to been a freakin imperialist to vote to give bush authorization for Iraq, or dumber than a junkyard dog.

If they do it for Iran, they must be dumber than a dead junkyard dog.

6. I'll have to get the emails I sent to them before the Iraq invasion
and change the "Q" to an "N" and resend them.

I'm sure I'll get the same response too.

9. I called Boxer and Feinstein's offices. I told the staffers
that the lying must stop. The killing must stop.

It starts with us. We must connect with the Washington leaders whether they like it or not.

Let us all call today and every day until the killing and destruction of this Administration stops.

19. I've sent probably a half dozen letters to each of my senators on Iran
including the American Conservative piece on Cheney asking for nuke plans.

The oil companies want it, Israel wants it, and we don't count.

21. I am now immobilized...
...Alito was yet another crash into my own wall of reality. If democratic senators' couldn't step up to the plate on that one...it shows me just how complicit so many are...hopefully my animosity will pass...and I will once again see the possibility of the impossible. The worst part of it all, is that I live in Mass., and my senators and representative are damn near always, on the side of the angels....yet they too I am leery of....for there is far too much water under the bridge in our government's foreign policy. I may just be waking up...but how can they claim ignorance?

24. If they hear from enough of us, we will build a presence and relationship
that is necessary.

Imagine if thousands of us made just two phone calls a day, every day, to our leaders to address the needless war, or just to say hi for that matter.

That or if we all stopped by our Senators and reps office once a month, or once a week. I think we'd see that the participation and action makes a difference.



"If people in the US had a true picture of war - dead babies, women with their legs blown off, dead and dying soldiers - they would say 'no' ... we need a media that is independent and honestly showing us the images, the hell, ugliness and brutality of war, not selling us war."
