Doug is the man! Thank goodness for people like you. Now if you and
all the others like you (and I know there must be a lot of them) could
just get together and grab the mic and shout it to the rest who are
basically sleeping something might really happen.
Thanks for the Jefferson quote. He knew a thing or two!

First, you assume we're the winning side, and I'm sure there are those
that will and can make a very good case we have NOT given the country
back to its inhabitants. That government is a flimsy sham and we
continue to occupy that country.
Second, define expanding borders - how about expanding the borders of
our military base placements around the middle east, how about
expanding control of or interest in the borders of world oil supplies.
We want military control over the world for our corporate backers - a
pretty expansive 'border' if you ask me.
Attacking and destroying a country that is not a threat to you IS the
very essence of a war of aggression.
...and we're guilty as all f**k! EVERY American needs to understand
that this is OUR war ultimately and we should own that, and stop the
war before it destroys everything this country holds dear and creates
even more death and havoc.
Then we need to do some very deep soul searching and some major work
world-wide to attempt to redeem our sorry selves!
Doug
