A heavy subject to write about my first time through... after a very deep conversation about the impending war in Iraq and the things that not enough people hear about, I'm at a loss to figure out what to do about it. As I write this, a couple of hundred thousand American soldiers are being prepared for an invasion, except the war has already begun. For the uninformed, an estimated 500,000 to 1.5 million people have already died from sanctions imposed by the Evil Empire (I mean the US) on Iraq. That disgusts me. Some of my tax dollars have helped to keep Iraqi children from getting sanitary water. We are paying let the federal government starve and destroy innocent civilian lives. I refuse to buy into Bush's schemes to strike at the axis of evil. Why is he just ignoring North Korea, which we know has nukes? Could it be that America wants cheap oil? Should we "defend" our country by decimating a people ruled by a tyrant? Hows about we just kick some evildoer butt. And then take over the oil (killing) fields. Sounds like a plan if I've ever heard one. Our Christian president is doing some very irresponsible things with human lives, not to mention the rest of our government that's pushing this war down our throats until we swallow it. God help us all. The world is a scary place to live in at the moment. I wonder how it must feel to be an atheist right now?

What have you bought into?
