the internal war
Politics is a dangerous game I rather not play, however to be apolitical in this day and age seems even more dangerous. In 2002, I was in the minority when I opposed the Iraq War, and now five years later, it seems the veil of confusion has been lifted to mobilize people across the nation to stop an unjustified occupation of a nation that has become all but the forgotten nightmare.
As we go on with our daily lives, I wonder how many of us think exactly what is happening to the very foundations of our nation in which our economy is continually deteriorating due to an unjustified war.
We have looted their art. We have shattered their culture. We have killed their children. We have murdered their leader on television. We have divided their people. We have destroyed another nation.
What remains now is do we abandon our own soldiers to do our bidding in country that we have failed to control? Do we leave them there to slowly die while our leaders figure out how to solve the Iraq problem? Or do we cut our losses and ask them not to fight anymore?
There will not be an easy way out of this.
