Thumbs up Allies
If you are interested in the reason we had to take out Saddam I would highly recommend Allies by William Shawcross. He goes through step by step the reasons why the United States had to eliminate Saddam and does so in a fair way. Shawcross lays out the mistakes that have been made in the war and reconstruction efforts.

~ Donald Rumsfeld, March 30 2003


"Strike against war, for without you no battles can be fought! Strike against manufacturing shrapnel and gas bombs and all other tools of murder! Strike against preparedness that means death and misery to millions of human beings! Be not dumb, obedient slaves in an army of destruction! Be heroes in an army of construction." ~ Helen Keller, 1940

"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance." ~ Thomas Jefferson

"Those who wish to be ignorant and free, believe in something that never was and never shall be." ~ Thomas Jefferson


"Before a standing army or a tyrannical government can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe." ~ Noah Webster - 1787

"There's really five companies that control 90 percent of what we read, see and hear." ~ Ted Turner


"If the people only understood the rank injustice of our Money and Banking system, there would be a revolution before morning." ~ Andrew Jackson


"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies...The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the Government, to whom it properly belongs." ~ Thomas Jefferson

"Military men are dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns for foreign policy."
~ Henry Kissinger

I am not a human being having a spiritual experience, I am a spiritual being having a human experience.

The ancient Greeks used to say, "You shall know a man by the friends that he keeps." Given the nature of their friends and advisers, what are we to conclude about the Republican party:
Stop the madness before us it stops!
