Shame on Us if Bush Wins
RECEIVED Fri., Sept. 24, 2004
Dear Editor,
Many people now know what a mess we've created in Iraq and are finally beginning to question our reasons for being there. I guess it's better late than never, but for some who've opposed this war from the outset, it's too little too late. A reminder: There were no WMD in Iraq. There was no link to al Qaeda. Over 1,000 U.S. soldiers (and counting) are dead. The list goes on and will only get worse.
Now the war machine is starting to churn out the same lies as reason for invading Iran. More spiel and spin about WMD, nuclear power plants, enriched uranium, and weapons inspectors. The Bush administration lied to the American public to start this war, is currently lying about the reality in Iraq, and wants us to swallow the exact same lies as justification to invade another sovereign nation. Shame on them.
Enough is enough. We are losing the war in Iraq. No WMD were found. The "insurgents" are fighting for their country and freedom, and thousands of lives have been needlessly lost. We have a chance to let the warmongers and the rest of the world know how we feel in November. Please don't let them get away with murder for four more years. Shame on us if we do.
