If there is a "God", may he/she/it bless them, for they are fighting for a lie.

They deserve better.

Let's work on bringing them home.

Please.

I must admit I belive in God ... and I also believe he must be rather disgusted with humanity in general ...

the world deserves better
humanity should be better

so what can we do to fix this?

Our "God" won't bring the boys home. Just like the Muslim fundamentalist crusaders won't get 70+ virgins in their heaven when they kill themselves for Allah. Both Gods are fairy tales. Our soldiers were sent to war by humans, because of human lies, and they'll die for a human cause.... Imperialism and Oil/Power.

It was wishful thinking... I'm tired of the dying, and I want to see it end.
 
i'm tired of all the death, hatred, greed, destruction that is always everywhere i turn these days.... i have no answers on how to bring them home...
as the area around me just sent the 155th to saudi arabia... and my friends husbands are in the 155th i would definitely love to see them come home. i would hate to have to go to a funeral... even if i get to wear my little black dress... it's not worth it.

We have to get people to start writing their elected officials, and their media....

I will write. I will write every day ...
but I do believe our history shows it does no good. No amount of protesting has ever ended a war in this country ... at least not that I can think of

What other options are there?

none ... I'm feeling defeated in general these days, so it can be easy to see the negative.

none the less, I *will* still write ...

I think that the protests done at both national and grass-roots level in the 60's against Vietnam and for Civil Rights for blacks and women were major accomplishments. When the American public became aware of things like the My Lei (sp?) massacre, and the college students got involved across the country, a major change in mindset about war came about.

Can the same thing happen with this war, a war that both Bush and Cheney gleefully pronounced as a "War that may last for generations.... until 'Terrorism' is defeated"?

can it happen when people fear being persecuted as un-american and treasonous for voicing a discenting opinion?

of course, the suffergets were called treasonous for protesting during a war ... (but they weren't protesting the war)

So maybe? We can hope.
 
"God", or any higher power for that matter, does not interfer with world events, ever. Unless your someone special. That's a fact.

Holllaa!!!
