It's About Damn Time ...

... Those Boys come home. I just read an article on CNN.com that gave the story on President Bush's address to the nation last night. I'm sooooo pleased. Like, if you know me, you know how against the war I am anyway, and the fact that people are losing their fathers, sisters, mothers, sons, daughters, cousins and friends needlessly is inhumane.

We still haven't gotten a good reason from Bush as to why the war even began. Iraq had NOTHING to do with 9/11! Meanwhile, bin Laden is still sending miscellaneous videotapes to the American government. WHERE THE HELL IS HE? One man, can't possible be so invisible as to hide from the entire world for seven years. Somebody knows where his ass is. But, yeah I saw that article too. All I did was shake my head. This lunatic really still is taunting the American Gov't with his damn tapes. With all the advances in technology, some have got to recognize the flaws as well.

It's crazy, this world is so messed up and backwards. Like I really wonder if anyone else feels this way. I can't be alone in thinking this. It's wrong. Things are wrong! Something is seriously, seriously wrong with the way diplomatic relationships are handled around the world. Think about it. What's all the stuff we're taught when we're younger, "It's not right to hit," "Talk don't fight," "Don't tattle," "Be nice," "It's not nice to spit on people," "It's not nice to kick the dog." (Or maybe this last one was just me)

When one grows up or get's to an acceptable age of beginning to understand somewhat how the world works, all of the obedience and courtesy lessons are thrown out the window. None of it applies in a world of "fight, Fight, FIGHT!"

I wish so much that so many people would not have had to die for a counterfeit cause from a curmudgeon. It's not right. And no matter who or what defends the reasons for the war, I will not agree. It's not right to kill people, especially over a lie.

I'm so happy our troops will be coming home. I really, really am. And I wonder who got into Bush's pants to get him to say it. I say "say" because, I don't believe he really wants to bring the troops home.

There was no success in Iraq. Killing toddlers before they talk, children before they graduate, mothers before they conceive, and fathers before they can come home to see their firstborn isn't success. It's murder.

If one can factually, not statistically, but factually prove to me that there was success in Iraq, maybe, I'll buy you a cookie. They're 50 yen at the local convenient store. But, I'm not changing my mind. It's waaaaayyyy past time for our guys to come home. And I will never believe in the necessity to perpetuate and stimulate a lie, especially when the cost is the life of one, and much more thousands.

Bottom line: it's time, It's time, It's time.

I just wish I could say with full faith that this was truly the end. Sigh.

The Journey Continues ...

Peace.
