The way of the world and how we've become so vulnerable.
To allow people placed in positions of power
to rule our thoughts and create atmospheres of terror.
When will we learn that money is the root of all evil, and that power and greed is what makes people do things so terrible. We go to war for our supposed freedoms. Our young people trust and give their lives for these reasons. Only to find in the end that their gift of life was given in vain. For the all mighty dollar and oil is what this war is about. So in honour of our soldiers and innocent lives taken. Lets stand up to this evil and the money their making.Get out and vote and their lives will be venerated. Let this goverment know this will no longer be tolerated.We should not have to live in a world of the need to know basis.It is our right to be informed of all situations.If our constitution is to be believed then the government of the people, for the people and by the people is the American way to live. It's time to bring our troops home and leave the Iraqi people alone.
