Collea-Devi Goetz, Fort Collins

First - Thank you all for doing your jobs - holding discussions and VOTING - let us see who's willing to send our children and grandchildren to death. So they're not trained properly, so they don't have what they need to fight and stay alive, so they're being taught to "kill" - simply "kill" - not defend freedom, so they aren't being treated when they get back with their body parts missing and they have a shredded mind - We can't spend money on our going and returning troops (come to think of it - not on Medicare, health, education, social security, jobs, and everyday living either!!) but we can spend lots and lots - isn't that "billions"? - on our brand new best friends - apples and oranges - right??? And myself and the rest of America can't possibly understand all the complexities involved - Don't let our friends and allies down but kill, wound and permanently maim our own - now there's progress - now there's growth - that will help us understand the complexities.

As I listen to the rhetoric and the current administration, I can't help but wonder why they and some of you speak of our children and grandchildren - our troops - as if they were as expendable as our budget monies - just send a few more thousands/billions over there and let's see what happens - we've all seen what's happened but let's just give it a little try one more time to see if we get the same thing, doncha know - guess Haliburton and the other finance companies haven't made their quota in profits - but the oil companies have -but not everybody - yet, as our children and grandchildren die and come home with their body parts missing and a shredded mind - we know what happens but let's pretend that this time it will be different - all anyone has to do is look at the last year and speak to our troops coming home- especially to hear what you really don't know about training, deployment, conditions there and coming back. Hell - what's a few more thousand lives anyway in the scheme of things - we spend billions everyday - just throw it away - just like we're throwing away the lives of our children and grandchildren. - And doncha know our "obligations" to our brand new best friends - what's a few thousand lives and generations of recovery in light of our brand new best friends??? Oh, no ... we can't let THEM down - we'll make due, okay but we need to feed the corporations and our new best friends and all that complicated stuff - we'll make due - we always have...

We are all waking up - We expect you to do your jobs - we shall not "make due" with our children and grandchildren - It has gone way too far - stand up - speak up - legislate up. NO MORE TROOPS - NO WAR IN IRAN - STOP GLOBAL WARNING - NO MORE GOOD MONEY AFTER BAD - IMPEACH/INDICT - CONVICT - IMPRISON Bush and his administration for war crimes against our "enemies" and then against our own troops, for shredding the foundation of the letter AND intention of the Constitution he swore to uphold - he and his staff are oathbreakers as well as lawbreakers - remember your oaths - for Bush and his administration behaving above the law of the land (and international law), for encouraging Global warming, U.S. nuclear proliferation to the exclusion of other countries, for invading a country and continuing to interfere with its existence illegally - to threaten the world in the name of the United States citizens which he doesn't represent any longer, for impersonating an intelligent, thoughtful, knowledgeable, honest, judicious, moral Presidential leader (which he is not and has never been) - just to name a few - IMPEACH/INDICT - CONVICT - IMPRISON Bush and his administration. Do you job - Stop that maniac.

READER COMMENTS

According to international law (1927 Kellog Briand Pact) war is illegal even for self defence. So by that standard we should have impeached Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Johnson, Nixon, Clinton and both Bushes.

Can I offer you a Prozac?

Think before you write, it may just do you and your position some good. Fanatic rantings of a desparate mind solve nothing. Step back. Take a breath. Open your eyes and close your mouth.

If you can publish this garbage, you have lost no rights. You can have your opinion, but you are can't change facts of which you have no clue.
