2. 23,-091 wishing they were dead rather than severly disabled and poor.
Those don't count, of course. And the 20 million families and friends of those soldiers trying their best to support them don't count, either. And the hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi men and women and children who died,...aren't any big deal. And the millions of Iraqis who DID NOTHING TO HARM ANY AMERICAN and are starving or displaced,...don't matter, much,...in the face of the profiteering 'fuck-you' war by oil-elitists.

This is it,...all there is.

Reckon as you may.
