33. How About All Of Them. It Takes Two To Tango.

Edited on Mon Jul-25-05 06:43 PM by DistressedAmerican

Why hold the ones actually cmmitting the acts responsible as well?

I firmly believe that the war was wrong and that the leadership must be held accountable. But, give me one reason we should not punish those taking the illegal orders.

And for the record, I am working very hard to end this war and bring these folks home. How dare you accuse me of just sitting on my ass complaining. You don't fucking know me. Where the hell do you get off? You don't know what the hell you are talking about.

Anyone that knows me knows that sitting on my ass complaining it not my style. I get active. How about you? What are you doing to make the world better?
