What greater good has the deaths of our soldiers wrought thus far?
Blood for oil? Oil for money? Money for blood?

Destruction, mayhem, madness, genocide?

Distraction? Division?

Treason?

Discuss.

1. Please don't ask difficult questions. Too sad.

2. That's the problem right there.
If this were a GOOD thing, the answer would be simple.

A pity it's not.

4. Nothing
Nothing but atrocity, death, injustice, wrongdoing, pain, agony and worse.

5. What greater good?...
Sadly I remember the same difficult question being asked during Vietnam.

Even worse; when the Vietnam War came to a close, one of the few comforts to the loss of so many lives was the sentiment, "Never again."

It looks like I'm going to be hearing, "Never again" again.

7. Oh sure, Cindy Sheehan
Why are you questioning our Maximum President? Just accept that this is a noble cause, and fuhgeddaboudit. You can best support the troops and defeat terrorism by going shopping.

At least, I think that pretty much sums up the corrupt Bush administration's talking points.

8. Great returns
Edited on Sun Jan-22-06 01:44 AM by awoke_in_2003
for share holders in McDonnell Douglas, Fairchild, Colt Rifles, and all the other friendly members of the military-industrial complex. Blood means nothing to these people, unless it is bringing them more profit.

On edit- let us never forget Halliburton and Darth Cheney
