2000
These 2000 crosses represent the 2000 American lives lost
in Iraq since March of 2003. Take a moment to scroll
through them all and think about the Fathers, sons,
brothers, Moms, sisters and daughters who gave their
lives for a war that was started with lies by our
President and his advisors and then approved
with votes by Congress. Remember that the
main stream media broadcast the lies as
the truth. Consider that 2000 is the number that the
government is reporting and that they lie. Also, that
is the number reported killed in Iraq. That number
doesn't include the injured soldiers who died
after being evacuated. It doesn't include the thousands
of soldiers with broken minds and bodies laying in military
hospitals. The number doesn't include the thousands of
Iraqi civilians, including women and children who were
also killed and are being killed today in a war that the
President started with lies. He knew they were lies.
He doesn't care that people are dying. His kids aren't
fighting- he never fought. No one in Bush's inner circle
of liars ever spent a day in battle. But they have no
problem sending American kids to die for the lies.
Unfortunately this number will grow. Unless enough
people speak up and let the govenment know that we
won't stand for it. If every person who says they are
against this war took the time to turn off the TV and
spent 20 minutes, say 3 days a week, and called their
representatives or wrote them a letter or an
email and let them know how disgusted they are with
the war and how wrong it is for them to follow a
President who lied to start a war, maybe things
would change. Maybe not. Maybe they don't care
either. But if we just sit, this number will rise.
Next it will be your child or grandchild or Father or
Mother that will die for the lie. If you don't believe in
this war, find a way to express it. Join a protest.
Be heard. Start a website. Light a candle.
Don't be a part of the lie.
Be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom.
Each cross used to be a life that died for a lie.
