Reply #36: The problem is, we live in a time

[Tsiyu]

when we refuse to call things by their proper names.

We call "occupation" democracy and "Stolen elections" mandates and we call truth a lie and lies the truth.

So what is "War?"

* says the War in Iraq is over. Finis. Done.

So why are 100+ more Iraqis dead this week? And only the heavens know how many of our troops are no longer with us. Not engaged in war or anything like that, of course.

Our leaders tell us they are making us safer, but we can see with our own eyes they are doing no such thing. Four years later, and they tell us the same guy who did 9/11 did 7/7.

If this is how the "Policemen of the World" do their jobs, perhaps they need to resign. Yet they insist they are steadfast, resolute and have the American people in mind.

While we see that OBL is free as a bee and no closer to capture, and there isn't enough funding for our law enforcement and that Halliburton just got another juicy sum while our soldiers lack proper equipment and terrorists are spreading their grasp far and wide.

What the hell is war? Pretty fucked-up stuff if you ask me. And not only that; it's a pretty fucked up way of solving problems in the Year 2005.
