4,098 soldiers, 80K Iraqi civilians dead. Thank you, Code Pink,

[LWolf]

for standing in opposition to this slaughter, for holding all politicians accountable for it.

Lives are on the line. While politicians play games, more people die. I am grateful to Code Pink, and to all, who will not be silenced while these lives are spent for political purposes.

The Code Pink Mission Statement:

<snip>

CODEPINK is a women-initiated grassroots peace and social justice movement working to end the war in Iraq, stop new wars, and redirect our resources into healthcare, education and other life-affirming activities. We reject the Bush administration's fear-based politics that justify violence, and instead calls for policies based on compassion, kindness and a commitment to international law. With an emphasis on joy and humor, CODEPINK women and men seek to activate, amplify and inspire a community of peacemakers through creative campaigns and a commitment to non-violence.

That's a mission to take pride in, and one I am glad to support in every way I can.

To the women and men of Code Pink, keep up the good work! :yourock:

Peace and justice, what great ideas, which have nothing to do with conservative values.

3. And we're supposed to be afraid of Ahmadinejad

There's a conniving, lying, warmonger in our midst and its our own president.
