1. Faces of the Fallen

I started making videos like this every month since last December. I recently finished this one and will have more recent months up soon.

2. No one wants to say it to their families

But these 4000 men and women of ours died for nothing. They died in vain. Worse, they died in an invasion that increased the future threat against the United States.

3. Reply

Indeed, I am against the war as well. It is sad to see deaths happen on any side in war.

4. I am heartbroken

When anyone dies, American, Iraqi, Iranian, Afghani, anyone, when it was 100% unnecessary and the war began based on intentionally flawed inteligence and blatant lies, with the real goal of mercantilistic aggression, power, and profiteering. The fact that none of these 3 candidates will put an end to this immediately makes me ill. We as voters amd concerned Americans owe it to the soliders to find them a leader that will end this insanity now.

5. Liars!

When the Iraq War happened, 99% of Irish people were convinced Bush was lying. So you can only imagine how we felt when we turned out to be completely right! I don't belief a word he says...and now the same lies with Iran? And it wasn't only the WMDs - there was the 'connection to Al Qaeda' and so many others. The terrorist Al Qaeda wasn't in Iraq before the invasion.
