(57,936 posts)from my neighborhood. War is not good for the mothers and fathers in my area. I remember when I was campaigning for Kerry 2004. I knocked on a door and a man, judging from his English an immigrant, stepped out and begged me to get Kerry elected. His solier daughter had just come home from the war. His English did not suffice to share the details of his daughter's story, but he was on the verge of tears. He literally begged me to get Kerry into the White House and get Bush out. He wanted peace. Peace for his daughter. Peace for himself. Peace for our country.
Kerry needs to stop and remember what he saw in Viet Nam. You cannot bring the dead back to live. Maybe Jesus could, but we can't.
Let's don't pull a George Zimmerman on the Syrian people.
Let's not kill before we have the facts.
Our attacks will not kill Assad.
They will kill innocent people.
We need to have evidence before we go out and kill.
