Another idiot...Wayne Francis...we should send his sorry a$$ to Iraq along with Nickolas De Genova and their like.
IRAQ: War is a waste of resources and lives
Countless conservative, right-wing supporters of President Bush continue to believe that their king can do no wrong, and that this war in Iraq is morally justified.
Somehow our Republican leaders have convinced their credulous constituencies that fighting Iraq will help us win the war on terrorism. Much of this country, as well as the rest of the planet, knows better. This is why we have filled the streets to protest this war.
While people like Osama bin Laden and countries like Saudi Arabia and North Korea enjoy unprecedented freedom and liberty to terrorize whomever they wish, hundreds of innocent Iraqi citizens are being murdered, starved and forced from their homes, all in the name of "liberation" from Saddam Hussein, a man who has not threatened or harmed the United States for 12 years.
Then, it comes as no surprise that of the 190 countries in the world, only two have a majority of citizens that support Bush's war against Iraq. The United States and Israel both have slight majorities that support Bush's war.
This is at a time when our media have demonstrated a level of bias toward the right that is un- paralleled in American history.
The rhetoric coming from the right ranges from the silly (America has a liberal media) to the downright absurd (anyone who protests this war is an un-American, Saddam sympathizer).
Such nonsense is spoon-fed to conservatives by news networks and radio personalities. Many times, it is hard to tell one Bush supporter from the next, because they repeat the same talking points over and over, obviously unable to form an original thought on their own.
The people who protest Bush's war want to win the war against terrorism, but not at the expense of the deaths of Iraqi citizens. We want to find bin Laden and use whatever means necessary to fight the al-Qaida terrorist network.
We are now $75 billion into the war. Several hundred people on both sides have died. For what?
In the end, history will judge this war as morally unjustified and a colossal waste of resources and human life.

What an idiot...what's his thinking on this?
"While people like Osama bin Laden and countries like Saudi Arabia and North Korea enjoy unprecedented freedom and liberty to terrorize whomever they wish, hundreds of innocent Iraqi citizens are being murdered, starved and forced from their homes, all in the name of "liberation" from Saddam Hussein, a man who has not threatened or harmed the United States for 12 years."
