* My views

Because of my previous post, someone mentioned to me that I sound "anti-military." Nothing could be further than the truth. I dislike the fact that our government is not honest to the American people as to their REAL justifications and intentions when they send the military, our young men and women, our fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers, off to kill and be killed to "protect" American "interests."

It's obvious that manipulation was used to obtain the support from the majority of Americans for the ill advised, illegal , so-called "pre-emptive" war in Iraq. By now, with everything that has already been exposed about THAT war, ALL Americans should by NOW feel comfortable about questioning anything they hear from the government, the media and from so-called "authority" figures...for instance, religious leaders, who ALSO goose-stepped with the previous Administration's call for war. By now, ALL Americans should be questioning which "interests" our military are "protecting," and whether or not those "interests" are worth marching off to war for.
