Needless

am dismayed with the Bush administration for the needless killing of nearly 3,000 American servicemen and servicewomen and the maiming of thousands more. Since Bush's statement, "Bring 'em on," these men and women are being killed in a war we should have never been in and will never win. Many Iraqi men, women and children have been slain by our troops and all they received was an apology. Some Iraqis are faced with a lack of food and medical care. Do we call that helping them? We are spending billions of dollars a day on the war while we are faced with poverty here. The elderly cannot afford much-need medications and college is not affordable for many of the young. Bush and his cronies are making millions of dollars from the war. No one in the Bush family or the families of most of his staff are going to go to war. He calls himself caring, but his actions speak differently. I have no intention of leaving this country as some of his supporters have suggested with the statement, "Love it or leave it." My forefathers put too much free and cheap labor into it. They faced discrimination and many today face beatings and lynchings. This is a country I love, but I abhor some of its practices.
