Terrorists who invade other countries and rape, torture, and murder innicent people need to die for their crimes against humanity.

of these unfortunate souls is just over 25 years of age. At 55, I have lived more than twice as long as these poor folks. Readers, what do you say?

One thing it says is that we use our young people to fight for old men ideals. The people that bear responsibility for our young people dying in this fake war, will go on to live long peaceful lives.

Look at how long Robert McNamara lived after causing all of that death and mayhem during the Vietnam War. Go figure

I would suspect that McNamara suffered every day.

Bush / Cheney blood just keeps on flowing. But hey, for a certain war profiteer http://www.rawstory.com/news/2005/Cheneys_sto... it's all worth it

...of young lives............and all because of a LIE.......at age 70, it really disturbs me that this is still going on. There doesn't seem to be much of a regard to "humanity", when this is allowed to continue on unabated.....:(

...or is anyone else struck by the irony of that?

They and their victims die for greed, the ultimate deadly sin.


The internet is full of bogus 'American patriots', posting from places like Latvia, Qatar, and Nigeria.

What I will never accept is the slaughter of innocents , the sight of a family that has so little that their chilren are in rags and not enough to eat and have to bury their dead because they where bombed is beyond me .
Maybe it is my emphatic soul , i will go to my grave never accepting that greed is good .


every time you throw a little mud , you lose a little ground .

That's just it, these Christian butchers invade innocent countries, rape, torture, and murder brown people all because their fellow Chritsian leaders order them to try to seize the brown people's oil -- and being Christian terrorists they don't question, they don't refuse their illegal orders, they rape and slaughter because ideologically their religions are in lock-step with their crimes against humanity.
