Five Years of War

Today there are marches across America to remind the country that the Bush McCain war in Iraq has been killing, maiming, destroying and burning trillions of dollars for five long years.

Even though most Americans aren't aware of it, nearly 4,000 American armed personnel have been killed there. Civilian deaths in Iraq are increasing.

Politicians aren't talking about it so much. The media is not reporting it, and continues to soft-peddling the truth of it. But it continues to destroy the lives of many people here and in Iraq, while it systematically destroys our future and our ability to respond to future challenges.

It must not be forgotten. It must be ended, as Barack Obama promises, in 2009.
