The death of a US soldier in a roadside bombing in Iraq today marked the 400th American death in the country since the initial attacks in March. and that's not counting the dozen or so that died in the two helocopter crashes today. So we're up to 415-ish unnecessary deaths, and that's just Americans. That's not counting the Brits and Italians and other countries involved. And don't forget the Iraqis. Many thanks to the bloodlust of the Bush administration for crushing the families of those killed and wounded. And yet, most of the American public still supports the war. Because, after all, if we don't support the war, we're unpatriotic....what a load of shit. The government used (and is still using) fear as a weapon to keep the American people from resisting. Remember a few months ago when everyone was supposed to go out and buy plastic sheeting and duct tape because a biological or chemical attack was sure to happen soon? How about the terror alert colors? Hot shit Dave! They changed it to Orange! We're all doomed!

I know it's too late to do anything about it now, but we should never have attacked Iraq in the first place. Not because there would be civilian casualties, not because it would be a war over oil, but because saving the people of Iraq is NONE OF OUR GODDAMN BUSINESS. It shouldn't be this country's job to police the world. If our government really wanted to liberate Iraq from their tyrant of a leader, get the UN to be in charge of it. And "liberate" Israel too, that madman Sharon will be the end of them.
