Voting and The Iraq War: Worst Foreign Policy Disaster in U.S. History (So Far)

VOTE!! Exercise your freedoms before they are gone!

Far too often I hear people talk about how they do not vote because it "does not matter". This is what the controlling interests who have pushed their self-indulgent agenda down America's throat want people to think. Do not let yourself be disenfranchised by despair when so much blood was spilled to earn you that right. The elections of 2008 are going to be pivotal in so many ways.

Readers of my blog may have noticed that I have been thinking and reading about U.S. involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan recently, but in truth, it has been on one of my burners, fore or back, since it started. It is hard to even express in words the tragedy of long term genomic instability caused by DU Exposure and the plight of homeless Veterans. Are all U.S. soldiers pure of heart? No. Are any of us? Yet the average American enjoys a far higher quality of life than the grunt or gruntette that ensures it. When I say quality of life, I do not speak of the ability to buy cheap plastic junk from China at Walmart or be rude to people in traffic, I speak of the ability to not wake up screaming in the middle of the night, to have the full ability to feel emotions, to not have to worry about IED's. I speak of not having to live in such a hell of stress that Suicide becomes the answer.

There was a time when young men lied about their age so they could sign Uncle Sam's dotted line. (Band of Brothers rules) Our modern era Presidents have destroyed that ideal and moved our soldiers around on the global map to the tune of their Corporate Masters. "Bring it on" Cheney said, yet I saw no rifle in his hands and while McCain has sold his soul in my opinion, at least he walked the streets of Baghad, even if it was under heavy protection.

Many people believe that Bush will not attack Iran because he is now a lame duck. I say that he is even more likely to attack, for now he sees the end ahead and he seems deeply unsatisfied with the legacy he seems destined to leave behind so far.
