"Are the Iraqis worth it?" Are they worth the 2000+ US lives that you've
sent to die for them?

Those iraqis who are shooting at you, and killing the people *YOU* sent over the "save" them... are they worth more US lives?

...These are questions I've been asking republicans... and so far, not one has said yes, or even no.

They just change the subject, but for an instant they get a glimmer of reality.

I'm not disparaging Iraqis by any means. I'm putting the lives and actions into the republican perspective. After all, they bash all the muslims and islamics and want to kill them all, and then turn around and say the US troops liberated them and gave them democracy.

1. It certainly seems as if Bush cares more about Iraq than he does about
America. He has no qualms about sending billions of dollars over there, but just try to get the roof of a grade school in middle America fixed.

2. in terms of the value of a human life...
a human life is a human life. no one nationality has more, or less, worth as far as human lives. we are all equally precious and worthy to our creator, whatever name we may give Him or Her.

In terms of numbers: how many more iraqis have died for the same bold lie created by bush to invade and occupy their country?

In terms of the value of truth and for the sake of truth--not one more iraqi or american need to die for bush's bowl of crap.

Reject Bush. Reject all of his words. Reject all of works. Reject all of his pack of lies.

3. Grannies will freeze this winter in our rich nation
Think of the people, displaced by the savage hurricane, who are about to be turned out from shelters, in this the season on Christ's nativity.

Think of the people -- including the families of servicemen and women -- who are turning to food banks -- if not to survive, then to have some kind of holiday celebration.

I love Iraq. I studied Iraq. I love Iraqis.

But I AM an American -- and my people come first -- and I see them treated like animals by this government in power. Why are we second class citizens in our own land?

Not that Iraqis have it any better under American occupation-- they have it infinitely worse -- unemployment, no power, no sewage, no pure water, little hope, no security, rampant corruption.

We have no business over there. Creating this war was madness. End it at what disastrous cost to our nation? I -- like Jack Murtha -- do not say this to flail at Bush -- I say this as a patriot. When do we admit the mistake and get the heck out of there? Iraq WILL take care of Iraq.

Bush should be impeached.

4. Change the word "Iraqis" to "Oil" and see what they say
"Saving Iraqis" is a straw man.
