God said "Thou shalt not kill." There's 650,000 dead Iraqis in recent
years thanks to the Bush/Republican Iraq War. Over 90% of the Iraqi
people want the US out of their country. Even the elected president of
Iraq says he wants the US out by the end of this year. But Mr. Bush and
the Republicans aren't planning on getting out. Bush has already said
he's planning on staying until the end of his term. Another two years.
Then Republican presidential frontrunner for 2008, John McCain, has
already said he wants to put 20,000 more US troops into Iraq, probably
requiring a draft. Folks, that's called occupation. Under international
law an occupying power is required to provide for the native population
and Bush and the Republicans aren't doing it. A recent study showed
malnourishment among Iraqi children is worse now than under Saddam
Hussein, even when they had total economic sanctions on the country.

And it's costing us $120 BILLION dollars every year to pay for this
occupation. Where this money is going is anyone's guess. It's not going
to feed hungry Iraqi children. It's not going to rebuild Iraq. Even the
head of that mission admitted they're only trying to rebuild the basic
industries such as oil, electricity, and water supply. And who do the
Republicans have paying for this $120 BILLION dollars every year? The
wealthy, because they can afford it? The Republicans have given those
folks five huge tax cuts over the last several years, so the rich
aren't paying for this war at all. America's poor have been required to
pay for this war, in the form of cuts to medicare, welfare programs,
student loans, even the WIC program, aid to needy women, infants and
children. Who could be so evil as to cut help to a needy, hungry infant
to pay for an illegal, crazy war? See
