“Nationalism of one kind or another was the cause of most of the genocide of the twentieth century. Flags are bits of colored cloth that governments use first to shrink-wrap people’s minds and then as ceremonial shrouds to bury the dead….In the U.S. we saw it during the Gulf War and we see it now, during the War Against Terror. That blizzard of made-in-China American flags.”



Excerpted from War Talk, Arundhati Roy









This war that we have invested our sons and daughters in for EMPIRE and for empire alone is not going as planned. TORTURE, murder and sexual predation of innocent Iraq citzens......beheadings of American soldiers and citzens.



Suggestion: Go see Michael Moores new movie:Farenheit 9/11. THINK...and question WHY. That would be a good start. Then ask that the troops be brought home NOW before more perish or are beheaded. And ask that we see the caskets of those that have been killed and that those injured are honestly represented in the media.You know...the ones we NEVER HEAR ABOUT?





Damn shame when people line up and dont even question WHY at the cost of our young peoples lives.
