The following is the latest entry in a thread I started on The Augusta Chronicle bulletin board titled Calling out Sargebaby:
Another thought for Sargebaby and all the salute-snapping, flag-waving follow the Commander-in-Chief wherever he leads without questioning crowd. It is tempting - very tempting - to just wash my hands of this ongoing FIASCO and say "American Idiots, you deserve what's coming". But I can't do that. Barbara Boxer put it well when she said that the price for this debable is too high. It is the price paid by "our beautiful young men and women" who are serving in the armed forces and are getting thrown into a meat grinder.
Whether Commander-in-Chief Bush is sending our "beautiful young men and women" to stand between warring Shiites and Sunnis who are fighting a civil war in Iraq (which the President refuses to acknowledge) or whether Bush is now using our "beautiful young men and women" as pawns in his proxy war chess game with Iran - IT IS A WASTE OF PRECIOUS AMERICAN LIVES TOWARD NO GOOD ENDS.
The anti-war/pro-peace community has been saying this for nearly 4 years now. We have been right. We cannot quit trying to end this war because the lives of our beautiful men and women depend on us. Bush will only use them up playing geostrategery. Bush will lose him game. Our beautiful young men and women will lose their lives.
