I heard from my sister today that someone we knew in high school died in Iraq. He wasn't anyone I knew that well. He was a year below me in high school and he was on my bowling team. He was a great bowler! And protected me when Anthony (aka Binoo) would get mad at me in his competitive rages because I was such a shitty bowler.
I looked him up on the Iraq casualty list, and I was shocked by how high the number has gotten. As of today, 3,611 young men and women have died in Iraq in a bullshit war instigated by a fucking idiot named George Wanker Bush. And a lot of these casualties are recent. Why are people still dying? Didn't we win, Mr. Bush? It's infuriating!

Each one of these names is someone who has a family and friends who care about them. Each one of these names represents a young man who enlisted in hopes of a better future for themselves or a dream to better the world by serving their country. NONE of these names deserved to die in a war instigated by greedy tycoons sitting pretty at Haliburton.
It's been almost 6 years since 9/11 and we're still living in a world of terrorism. And gas prices are still soaring. And obviously Iraqis don't want us there if they're still shooting at us. What are we fighting for?!
BRING OUR TROOPS HOME! If you're American, VOTE!!! And if you're not, vote in your own country for politicians who will stand up to the fascist Bush regime. And if you're one of my friends who live in Communist China and can't vote, build your country so you can throw America off it's high pedestal. And if you're under 18, don't enlist! (That means you, Jason.)
