The Price of War

Well today marks the day that the US Death Toll in occupied Iraq hit 1500 according to MSNBC. Not too shabby considering how many civilian Iraqis have been killed in this conflict. I wonder how the mothers and fathers of all those US soldiers really feel about the war.

The war itself, as most people who can actually think for themselves can figure out, was based on lies. There were NO Weapons of Mass Destruction. There are NO solid links between Hussein and Al Qaida (they should have invaded Saudi Arabia but then the Saudis trade their oil nicely with the US)... In fact, almost every premise for the invasion has since been proved wrong or false. Sure Hussein was a bad dude, and many Iraqis suffered by his rule, but what now?

How many more civilians and how many more Servicemen will die? For peace? For "Freedom"? For Oil? At this point, I am not convinced the Iraqis are better off at all... Who is the evil power I wonder...
