DOWN WITH PANTS!

The death toll for American soldiers in the Bush junta's revenge war against Iraq has now risen over 600. About 300 of these deaths have come since Dubya stood on the deck of an aircraft carrier and declared victory.

600 troops have now died and for what? Has anybody been able to figure out why we are there? Did we find anything? Have we accomplished anything? Will Iraq be better off when we leave? The answer to all of these questions is NO!

Bush and all of his administration have the blood of each and every dead soldier, Iraqi civilian and private contractor on their hands. They have the blood of the future dead in this never ending cycle of violence on their hands. This war never had to happen in the first place and somebody needs to pay.

The only thing that we can currently do to end this cycle is to elect John Kerry president in 2004. He did not stop Bush from going to war and he may not immediately bring our troops home but at the very least he will kick all of Bush's warmongering cronies out of the White House.

Foreign policy and homeland security policy must stop being dictated because of revenge and profits. Maybe eventually we will be able to bring home the reservist who signed up to play war games one weekend a month so he could start saving for his newborn babies college tuition who is now on the front lines fighting for a lying, cowardly commander-in-chief.
