Stop the War in Iraq

For my first Blog I want to write about optimism, peace, love, health, trust, common sense. I wish for everyone these wonderful words I mentioned above in their lives. They are all attainable, yet at times very hard to reach especially in the midst of the dirty war we are forced to be in against our free will as Americans.

The Iraq war is a senseless war which was established because of greed. Our young kids are being sent to the middle east to fight in a war they don't even understand. The only thing they understand is that if they enlist and fight they are doing this all for their country.

My 3 teenagers could very well be drafted in the next couple years if the war goes on as President Bush would like it to go. I am a worried mom hoping the government and congress have enough sense to stop President Bush's request for more military troops being sent to their doom.

As a mother I support Cindy Sheehan in her protests and traveling around the country wanting the war to stop. Her son was killed in Iraq needlessly and she is trying to make the bad situation of her son's death into a positive experience by protesting the war and showing Americans what is really going on in the middle east.

My hope is for everyone to have a New Year filled with Love, Peace, Goodwill, Trust, common sense, health. By stopping the war in Iraq this will be a first step in achieving everything good.
