10 years



A great song about needless death. Maybe George Bush should have listened to this song 10 years ago before he sent soldiers into Iraq. What have we accomplished in that ill advised war? Thousands of dead soldiers, single parents, kids with no mom or dad.  Tens of thousands of Iraqi dead, an Iraqi civil war, more terrorism. A collapsed American economy. More dependence on the military industrial complex.

A complete total failure of U.S. foreign policy of epic proportions that will have effects on American generations for years to come. 

If we, The United States of America, want to viewed as world leaders we need to review what we are doing. We are being viewed by other peoples of the world more than ever before and they do not like what they see. We are inviting another 9/11 and the next time there just may be a government sanctioned attack by someone we are killing today.

Good op-ed post, Mark.
The Chicks were right from day one and most of the Nashville suckups were wrong.

Thanks Ken.

The Dixie Chicks career was greatly hurt by Natalie speaking out. She was very much correct.

I work with a guy who was in the Marines for 5 years and was in Iraq and he is pissed at the government. He feels cheated, lied to and discarded by the government.
