Poem Artwork


 


Let them kill each other off,


Don’t give me the look of scoff,


Our military men are dying,


Even though to not do so they are trying…


 


Destroying their dome,


Are people of their own,


With bombs they are blown,


Send the Shiites and Sunni’s,


To kill each other out in the boonies…


 


Bring home our forces,


Of the Iraqi nation let us consider divorces,


Give them what they need, no longer men,


Maybe they can make due with horses,


Please petition our government to take on stronger courses…

i totally concur ... many saw this happening from the beginning ... war is futile, especially when based on an misnomer referred to as liberation ...

It seems that the majority of Americans finally agree, and many have wondered from Day One, why we fight their civil war. Yes, bring our valiant troops home - now.

The whole middle east is imploding.
I say bring 'em home too.
Let them kill each other, rather than our own. These kids need to get on with their lives. Bush is such a phuck up, he won't see the light no matter what wattage the bulb.

I agree with you Ed wholeheartedly !
It's high time to bring our boys back home now, and let the Iraqi's
decend into a Civil War of their own making !
We have done our bit for Democracy and Justice in the Middle East !

War? A very destructive force which tears apart the family unit. It is time to come to terms that our government uses its men and women as pawns to play a game that no one ever wins. The children suffer the most because they will be one less short of a parent to help in their upbringing. We need to go back to the gladiator times and throw these savages into the arena of the colliseum and let them have at each other with the lions in a blood bath that will end all blood baths! You know, the tiger fights for the lack of discipline. Good thoughts tonight, Ed, and thanks for the compliment on your review in my den tonight. It's the kindest thing you've said to me, and I'm keeping count. I really appreciate it!

I pray it will happen soon, but I don't think we will be able to get out that easily! Too involved to go into the reasons, but leaving now isn't possible. We must keep praying!

It is really sad how many are dying or being injured, sometimes so badly that the life they had is only a faint memory. Good, strong write and call!
Birgit and Roger
