    I have one more comment about our invasion and then I'll shut up.
    When I heard that the reason for doing it was "to bring democracy to the Iraqi people" I almost threw up. The United States is a Republic that has morphed into a democracy. The founding fathers were adamantly against a democracy because, in their words, "Democracy is the most insidious form of tyranny".
    The majority do not determine Right and Wrong. Natural Rights determine Right and Wrong. To believe that truth can be determined by vote is to say that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west can be changed by a majority opinion.
    When a society loses respect for the truth and the processes used to determine it, i.e. Logic, then the predators have control of all of us.

    I watched the inteview with Aaron Russo on youtube where he spoke about hearing, 11 months before 911, that an 'event would take place which would lead to the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq' and that it would be done in the name of a 'war on terror'. He claimed (he is no longer alive) that the person who told him this was Nick Rockefeller - yes, one of the rich ones - and that he was being recruited to join the council on foreign affairs. "It's the perfect war and will never end", said Rockefeller or so Russo claimed. I believe him.
    Watch "The money masters" on youtube if you want to have your eyes opened on the powers behind the thrones, elected or otherwise.

    The Iraq war represents a disgusting page of our political history. It was a deliberate aggression against that nation by the Bush administration who sought a pretext to invade.
    From the beginning, it was known that 911 were not connected to Saddam Hussein in any way, and that there were no weapons of mass destruction. In case there were, it did not pose any real threat to America. Our soldiers are dying, sacrificing their lives in a senseless war. They are not defending America or bringing democracy to the region. The war was based on lies, and it is time to end it.
