♥ peace //

I am TRULY begining to disagree MORE and MORE with this stupid war. I was ALREADY angry with the government for declaring war on Iraq in the first place... I understand we wanted to "HELP," but I do not think bombing their homes, children, and schools will be an effective method to help.
I think we pushed FEAR of Americans into the country, which MAY be what SOME people want, but I would prefer us to be a peaceful country!
TRULY, How will bombing, shooting, and invading promote freedom? We call it an Iraqi Freedom War, but they are simply prisoners, and they are enduring SO much for what? Some deaths? We were counting our SOLDIERS lost, but WHO counted the children, and the innocent people in the streets hiding from the Americans...? Who counted the people we shot, and who counted the soldiers who committed suicide after the sites? What made us such a selfish place...?
The propaganda in this country convinces us that we are free, but why must we shine lights on our flags at night, and why can we not marry within our sex? Who decided we should put "Go Army" on TV, when we already have thousands of soldiers who have volunteered? Why do we have to say the pledge of allegiance in school? Why should we every day say that we pledge ourselves to a country that has harmed so many others?
We don't think about it, but America has become one of the least liked countries, and we don't exactly promote acceptance of other countries... we see in the news all the bad in the world, but what about the good??? What about TOLERANCE????
