The view from here in la belle France . . .
I was walking with my two pet sheep this afternoon, when I happened upon an old French woman. We were talking about the sheep, and then she asked, "are you Dutch?"

I said that I was American.

She said, "Ohhhhh, you're an American. Why did your president start that war?"

"He's an idiot. He wants the oil"

"Do you have a brother in the war?"

"No, I don't have a brother in the war."

"That's good. Everyday you have a soldier killed in Iraq. And every day a family is crying."

2. We All Are Crying
The troops that are trapped in this Bu$h*t quagmire are all of our brothers and sisters.
And I for one break down when I see their names, ages, and photo's. Soldiers are supposed to put their lives down for their country, not their corrupt corporate government!

3. I used up all my tears in Viet Nam
Why did we have to lose tens of thousands of young men and women?

I am just as disgusted if not more over our party that send so many young people to die for a useless war. This was is bad but the damage from our Viet Nam has hardened me. I see no excuse for either and I lost many friends in VN and my innocence too.
