1. HOW MANY MORE GEORGIE, HOW MANY MORE?

Until the philosophy,
Which holds one race superior
And another inferior,
Is finally and permanently
Discredited and abandoned,
Everywhere is war.

WAR

Until there is no longer first class
Or second class citizens of any nation.
Until the color of a man's skin,
Is of no more significance than
The color of his eyes,
I've got to say "war".

WAR

That until the basic human rights,
Are equally guaranteed to all,
Without regard to race,
I'll say "war"

Until that day the dream of lasting peace,
World-citizenship and the rule of
International morality will remain
Just a fleeting illusion to be pursued,
But never obtained.
And everywhere is war.

Until the ignoble and unhappy regime
Which holds all of us through,
Child-abuse, yeah, child-abuse yeah,
Sub-human bondage has been toppled,
Utterly destroyed,
Everywhere is war.

War in the east,
War in the west,
War up north,
War down south,
There is war,
And the rumors of war.

Until that day,
the african continent will know no peace
There is no continent,
Which will know peace.

Children, children.

Fight!

We find it necessary.
We know we will win.
We have confidence in the victory
Of good over evil
Of good over evil

Fight the real enemy!

4. So very sad

He, like so many others, died for Bush and his cronies before he had really had a chance to live. Has there ever been such a blood stained administration? Bush should be tried for crimes against humanity, and is now saber rattling against Iran. How many more is he willing to sacrifice? Apparently, as many as he can get, and he doesn't care a bit about any of them, or their loved ones, or the country that is being destroyed. He just wants his way, regardless of the pain to others.

5. Great. bet we'll be at 2400 by monday.

Every single kid murdered by the bush junta has a family, a community who knew him, every platoon he was ever in who knew him and watching public keeping track.

With each death touching so many people, I'm astonished this is allowed to continue.

Eventually I suppose it will happen to a parent or family member who won't tolerate the murderers walking free. With thousands of kids getting killed its bound to happen.

Wonder if it's possbile to sue bush for the wrongful death of a son. :popcorn:

7. A Draft will stop the action

That is why as long as people join to kill willingly this abomination will go on.

6. Stack 'em higher and higher

Grass Bush

Pile the bodies high in Austerlitz and Waterloo Iraq
Shovel them under and let me work--
I am the grass; bush; I cover all.

And pile them high in Gettyburg Baghdad
And pile them high in Ypres and Vedum Mossoul and Al Fallaujah

Two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor:
What place is this?

I am the grass bush.
Let me work.

9. I was born in New Bedford.

The death of a "local" always hurts - and every one of our brave men and women sacrificed to Bush's War for Oil was a local - a loved one - to SOMEONE.

10. Very close to where I live. One in Fall River (also nearby) last w/e, too.

Thanks for nothing, *W*

11. I'm one of the only people I know who know how many have died every day.

But the only reason I bother to know it, is that if I told them how many civilian iraqis have died, they wouldn't listen to me at all. You have to start somewhere. Speak to people in language they understand. Even most freepers don't know how many U.S. soldiers have died. They don't bother to pay attention. It's pretty easy to do, you know? Still, they don't. Nevermind the "non-political" people. They have no clue. Know it. It's a fact. No one can dispute it, or pretend not to care.

12. Me too! I'm known as Debbie Downer

I don't care- These people need to hear what heartache
and turmoil this frat-boy has created.

I really hope there is such thing as karma.

They've updated the article online.

"He joined the Marines Corps after watching President George W. Bush on TV. The very next day he came into the house with a Marine recruiter and joined right away," said Michael's father, Joseph Ford."

14. This is turning into a fucking genocide

Hey, Matt and Trey.

2396 dead American soldiers.
Countless thousands of Iraqi cicvilians slaughtered.

Why don't you "parody" that, assholes ?

I think San Fransisco and Al Gore can wait.
Oh wait, you already did. How insightful.

There's a fucking WAR CRIMINAL sitting in the oval office right now!
SAY SOMETHING!
