Go Now......Out Of Iraq

Kelly Casilio, dressed as a U.S. soldier, stands silently at an anti-Iraq war protest in Boston, Massachusetts January 11, 2007. The numbers on Casilio's face represent the number of U.S. soldiers killed in the war.
The War in Iraq continues. Seven more of our troops killed today. Yes.........there was a huge demonstration in Washington today. This demonstration was unique, with Hollywood actors, and with Jane Fonda attending. She said it was her first demonstration against a War in 35 years.
At the rally, 12-year-old Moriah Arnold stood on her toes to reach the microphone and tell the crowd: "Now we know our leaders either lied to us or hid the truth. Because of our actions, the rest of the world sees us as a bully and a liar." After Moriah spoke on behalf of those concerned, I really don't think there is much more to be said, in my opinion she said it all.
The State of Kansas is probably one of the most conservative States in the country. Kansas State legislators rallied this week to send a private memo to President Bush, very short and sweet, "Get the Hell Out".

I really like some of the signs that were at todays demonstration.

Bush..................Custer and Mr. Magoo were better deciders than you!
Democracy is the will of the people..............not the will of the president.
Kill one person and it's murder.....Kill thousands and its foriegn policy!
Still lying!!.....Stop lying!!
Yes to God...No to torture!
Words of Mass Deception
Lying is not Leadership............Impeach Bush & Cheney

I keep telling my brother, two more died, then 4 more died, and then 7 more died. No one is keeping track. Will they be remembered? What a waste of young men so talented. They had there whole lives ahead of them. I can tell you the brotherhood of the Marines will remember, "Farewell Marine".

Song of the Week
Mary Gauthier sings some very deep and dark songs. But whether we like it or not, she speaks the truth. One of my favorites is "Mercy Now".
Have a Good Week
Daniel
