8. I'm glad that you
saw the OP. I was thinking of you while reading some of the pages of this book that describe the pain that family members endure in a war that was not entered for "national security" reasons, although the criminals in the administration had said that it was.

Chapter One (Opening Up One's Eyes) starts with this: "The book you are about to read deals with what I believe to be the most serious crime ever committed in American history -- the president of this nation, George W. Bush, knowingly and deliberately taking this country to war in Iraq under false pretenses, a war that condemned over 100,000 human beings, including 4,000 young American soldiers, to horrible, violent deaths.That, of course, is the most serious consequence of Bush's monumentally criminal behavior. But let's not forget that, additionally, thousands upon thousands of people have suffered injuries that have disabled them for life; hundreds of thousands of humans have sustained psychic damage from the war, and literally hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of people will involuntarily re-create in their mind's eye, over and over again, what happened to their loved ones."

When you get the book, I will look forward to discussing it with you. I think that you and your family are the people that Mr. Bugliosi is advocating for.
