END THE WAR!!!
IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO ACHIEVE PEACE!!!
HERE'S WHY THE JOHN WAYNE APPROACH WON'T WORK
It's never too late to achieve peace. Thousands of protesters made their voices heard during demonstrations around the globe last weekend, on Saturday, September 15, 2007. Photos from the demonstrations in Washington, D.C. indicate that today's youth are not as passive as some pundits would have us believe. Is all this too little too late? I'd say it's never too late to speak up against this stupid war!
I do believe that a lot of people, particularly Democrats, regret not having spoken up sooner. The fact remains that this war was and is a wrong war to fight. We should never have invaded Iraq. Those who support the war believe it's too late to argue those points. The White House & Co. won't even admit to them and just wish them to all go away. No, it's essential to stress that this is an illegitimate war. There are also those who demand some sort of "victory" as if John Wayne could ride all through Iraq, knock out the bad guys, and make everything a nice red, white, and blue. Everyone would be so grateful and in awe of the good ole U. S. of A. We'd all have a big helping of mom's apple pie, salute Bill O'Rielly, and we'd be so very happy. Sorry, but that's a crazy fantasy!
John Wayne, God bless him, is long gone and not the answer. Dubya and Big Dick are not John Wayne. "VIctory" is a fantasy that draft dodger rich boys like Dubya and Big Dick have no trouble selling to the gullible.
We need to think hard about why we went into Iraq (admit our mistake) and the chaos and agony we have created. We need to think hard about our exit strategy while we still can and while we pull the hell out of Iraq. This is not going well for us and is not going to get better. Diplomacy needs to be our highest priority. I guess Bush & Co. are going to leave that for Barak Obama or Hillary Clinton or John Edwards to achieve. Whoever our Democratic president should be, he or she will have quite a lot to fix!
Some say that the US in Iraq could be the beginning of World War III. Not 9/11 but the US invasion of Iraq. We need to turn this situation in Iraq into a truly international effort to achieve peace. It's a mess. No doubt about that. The last thing we need is to be fantasizing about some John Wayne victory.
