A stone into the water that makes ripples |
|
We all know the bushes are keeping them photos of caskets from reaching US. We all know that, but why is Cindy so important right now? Folks lets face it, if this mission had been accomplished the way PNAC expected, we would have had a couple hundred troops dead, and maybe a thousand injured. Alas this is not the case, Every troop dead, is a stone thrown into the reservoir which is the Consciousness of the American People. Every troop injured is a smaller stone... each ripple is creating smaller ripples that go even further making contact. A couple hundred dead the ripples would have remained well within the American Military, where it would have been part of the mission, and part of history. Yet this is not what has happened.
We have more troops dying, affecting more families. National Guard units are the worst kind that the Bushes can get. Those units, well they are citizen soldiers Whit a support network for the families OUTSIDE the military... hence those are far larger ripples. Today those ripples are those of angry people, who are asking why did he or she have to die?
More and more people are making the connection between the DSM and their death. More and more are raising a voice, for peace.
Folks this has just begun, and our fight is now joined, to the barricades for the moment of decision, maybe the moment of sorrow is near...

1. for those concerned this ripple will not become a wave |
|
just try calming the waters with a hand, or in the case of Iraq, a fist.

5. Millions are dying in Niger from something far worse than violence... |

I think it is called greed.
