What can you say about the Iraqi War? Useless? Illegal? Absurd? One mans psychopathic obsession? Revenge? An oil hunt? Corporate America's rebuilding salvation? A waste of now over 4000 American lives? The war is destroying our country morally and financially, and still it goes on, with no end in sight. We still sing "God Bless America," and wave our flags in acts of Bush induced patriotism, hoping somehow we can find absolution for our senseless acts of killing and destruction in Iraq and Afghanistan. With Bush's approval rating at 25-30%, and well over 70% of the American people voicing their disapproval of the war,it is time we turn our anger into action. It is about time we act like human beings, not pathetic "God Bless America" androids. Get off your butt and do something to show your disapproval. List what you do or have done in the comments. Your comments and suggestions may help others to mobilize themselves.

Violence is evil. It is contrary to our nature. You cannot hurt or kill others and expect them to love and respect you. That will not work. You are better to die knowing that you did not fall to the level of your enemy. Freedom and democracy are not served by killing and torture. We need to step away from our violent ways and embrace compassion and compromise. When we are confronted with violence, we have been told to turn the other cheek. This is not such an easy thing to do.

Happiness is what you should be looking for. Happiness is the name of the game. Not a tee-hee kind of happiness, but a contentment, a feeling that you are doing the best you can. In the end it will be happiness that sustains you, not fame or fortune.

Dying isn't all that bad. We live and we die. No one wants to die, but that's how it is. We come and we go. Our time here is rented. It's not permanent. Nothing is. Living is the hard part. You have to figure out what it means to truly live. Once you get that figured out, you will no longer fear death.
