I heard all the empty and crap arguments before about Viet Nam and how if we didn't stop them there all the commies were going to be jumping out of closets and killing us in our sleep. Politicians do a great job of war and fear mongering. In Nam, it cost us 58,000 dead Americans. Then, as we do now, we had a runaway government. I had hoped that I would never in my life have to witness politicians killing off our young and scaring the public to stay in office. I was wrong but I hope and pray that the citizens of our great country will open their eyes soon and see this "evil-doer" war for what it really is. American kids don't need to die of political ambitions.

No, the terrorists didn't jump out of the closet and kill us in our beds.
They just waited til we got to work.

Thankfully some people are using their brains. Yours seem to have turned to mush.
