End the war

Oh, yeah, let's keep the Iraq war going. Officials snowed the ignorant American people during the Vietnam War. They can and are doing it again. We have to keep feeding the military industrial complex that supplies all the weapons and ammunition and we have to keep companies such as Halliburton and others in business rebuilding what we are destroying in Iraq. Isn't it nice that we are helping the Iraqi people practice democracy. So, what's a few thousand of our soldiers killed and thousands more losing limbs. It's worth it, isn't it? So what if America can't take care of its senior citizens, veterans and the poor because it needs every penny to support all of this. The Iraqi people will get it in the next 100 years or so. Don't you feel so much safer now that our brave troops are fighting the war over there, so we don't have to fight the war here. Of course, if we were to secure our borders and not let every Tom, Dick and Harry into the country, we would be safe. But that costs too much money and doesn't make some people enough money.
