Comments on: Lives and Families destroyed http://sirenschronicles.com/2008/03/15/lives-and-families-destroyed/ "To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."-Teddy Roosevelt Tue, 02 Dec 2008 20:05:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: Fran http://sirenschronicles.com/2008/03/15/lives-and-families-destroyed/#comment-4105 Fran Sat, 15 Mar 2008 16:44:14 +0000 http://sirenschronicles.com/2008/03/15/lives-and-families-destroyed/#comment-4105 I echo the welcome to you Kyle as well. I have always felt bushco does indeed use soldiers as *pawns* in their war games. People who endure the war scenes are forever changed. It does bother me that bush is willing to attend an annual wreath ceremony to honor the dead, but his life & mind are far removed from the devistation of death. I cringe when he lays a weath on Martin Luther King's grave, because I think the man who dedicated his life to non violent, civil/human rights, could he speak, would reject it. I imagine his sermon would say- do not participate in shallow, meaningless ceremonies if your heart & mind have not seen the light, and you make no effort to reduce the pain and suffering in this world. Indeed war is history, and history repeats itesef- IF- we fail to learn lessons from the mistakes, and the atrocities. I echo the welcome to you Kyle as well.
