Ok for anyone that didn't realize... all governments are liars. Democrats, Republicans, anyone in office lies. There is so much going on in this world that the general public has no clue about, and will never know about. I'm not saying they're all bad people, but governments do a lot of nasty dirty work that would shock the public.

A teacher at my school actually got a book published uncovering myths about the war in iraq. Everyone says "oh Iraq helps out Al Quada", when in fact Saddam and Osama hate eachother. I'll admit the book is a little biased and over the top, but when it comes down to it he's right. We'll find out everything we want to know about the war in about 70 years. He has interviews and quotes from UN inspectors that say over and over again "we have never found anything related to WMD's in Iraq"... yet we used that as a pushing point to invade.

I have two friends in the Marines and they are scheduled to deploy next January to Iraq. I asked them how nervous and worried they are to be going over (Their unit suffered 40% casualties last time they were there), and both agreed that they're not scared of Iraq because by time they're deployed, we'll be fighting in Iran. They don't have a yes or no opinion with Bush and they think their job in Iraq is making a difference, and i don't disagree. The troops ARE helping in Iraq, but there really wasn't a good enough reason to invade and they both know that. They've also shared stories about how many thousands of innocent ppl are killed but its all covered up and the news reports it as "suspected terrorists killed today", when in fact its little kids and their moms.

We're neck deep in shit and we're trying to find a way out... we shouldn't be in this situation in the first place.
