Tuesday Post for Peace (Graphic Images Below)
Tuesday, 15 May 2007
Well more foreign soldiers have now been killed in Iraq than were killed in the 9/11 attacks.
While there are obvious distinctions in the manner of death and status of the dead (civilian vs. military), the fact remains that each dead person leaves a gaping and torturous hole in the world of the people they leave behind.
Could you imagine politicians leveling the same rhetoric against the Iraq War that was leveled against 9/11?
Do you feel that those responsible for perpetrating the war have any sense of this responsibility they bear?
So I'm committed to One Million Blogs for Peace, and I'm just trying to get in the swing of doing the Tuesday Peace Posts. Before I start, I need to bitch a little!!!
THEY NEED TO POST THE TOPIC EARLY!!!!
It sux that I had to wait until today to find out what the topic is, and then jump through my ass to get it done.
Okay, now I'm starting the actual post.

One death is too many.

Status?? Violent death is violent death. Death by propaganda (no matter who is doing the bullshitting), and death by religion, (no matter what religion), death by bombing, by guns, by the machines of war are all caused by some greedy bastard that wants things or people to conform to his desires.
There are no distinctions to be made between these deaths. They were each one needless.

I can imagine a flying pig, although I've never seen one.
Do you feel that those responsible for perpetrating the war have any sense of this responsibility they bear?
Does any megalomaniac feel any responsibility for anything?? Do sociopaths have a conscience?
1) Anybody who wants the job (of president, dictator, king, queen, emperor, rebel leader, etc... ) shouldn't have it.
2) Power corrupts.
3) Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

that's why half of the time i just write my own and put post for peace on it. not like there is a dearth of topics. anyhoo- i have a feeling pigs would fly before these asshats felt anything akin to an emotion for other human beings. proof positive that the right is wrong about sex. it isn't a loving mutual thing that they do with their spouse (or mistress, or prostitute) it is strictly for procreating offspring to indoctrinate and train them to carry on the family name and the family business. in this case- war. very profitable for rich, white, protestant wannabes.
Sorry I haven't been around much...having some sinus issues. I agree, a violent death is a violent death. Now he wants to go into Iran. More deaths and more soldier lives lost. My sis-in-law is headed to Iraq in October. We're not too happy about that, especially since my cousin just came home from Iraq last year.
One week they didn't post at all - but I think what they're trying to do with the "Tuesday Topics" is to get a level of consistent subject matter. What you write about the topic itself is individual.
But they should put this up on Monday night, or something.
Anyway, done bitching. Here is what I said on Tuesday on this topic:
These architects of war relish in the destruction of everything and anyone they deem "other" - anyone not Neocon. Anyone not White and American. They are not Conservatives, they are the radical right. They have hijacked not only The United States, they've hijacked the Republican Party.
