Mothers-Fathers Sisters-Brothers Wives-Husbands Children.........




Like stones in a pond the deaths draw circles.
4000 doesn't begin to tell the story.
For years now, every time I change the numbers on my truck my heart bleeds because more people cry.

It was New Years Eve 2006 for death number 3000.
Easter Sunday 2008 for death number 4000.
This alone should make us stop and THINK.

I propped my "Impeach the Miserable Failure Already" license plate up for the picture.
(I had to take it down when the DMV recalled it)

Daily I cannot wrap my brain around that we have kept up war, that we have not found a way to stop the warmongers,
and have a serious Democratic contender who claims with a straight face she is most qualified for the job
but was duped into signing off on war and continuing to support it.

How many regular people, world wide, at the same time, knew better when they marched?
It was millions. They are better qualified to me.

War is the most brainless and archaic way to try to solve problems, and no reason, selfish, greedy, or otherwise makes it an option in solving conflict.
Period.
