Dennis Kucinich...Ten Years Ago Congress Began Debate Over Iraq War.

From OpEd News Oct. 3

...Ten years ago, Congress began the debate that resulted in the war in Iraq. Ten years ago, Congress began the journey that led us to four thousand, four hundred, eighty eight killed Americans and more than 33,000 injured. As many as 1,000,000 innocent Iraqi civilians were killed, staining the conscious of our nation. We wasted trillions of dollars while our economy and infrastructure crumbled at home.

Imagine America trillions richer, our sons and daughters returned to us. Imagine America at peace in the Middle East with the moral standing to lead the world. Imagine what could have been if Congress had maintained the courage to say no to the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld war machine. Imagine and demand -- never again.
