We Will Not Be Silenced : : AntiWar Speech

1 death is 1 death too many: "SAVE MY SON
My son is in the US Army. And I'm proud of him for wanting to serve his country. But he will be shipping out to Iraq in November to be part of an ill conceived and poorly waged war. I tried pointing out to him the irony of the thirty years the Iraqi people refused to fight Saddam the tyrant in light of the vigorous insurgency he will have to face while the vast majority of the Iraqi people are content to wait and see who wins. I tried to tell him that this is a war that historically we cannot win. I tried to tell him that if this war was so noble, how come they had to lie, lie, lie and lie some more to get us into it? And he told me 'Don't worry dad, I named you as my beneficiary' Tim. I don't want your death benefits. I want YOU.
