This is not Bush's War. This is not the Neo-Cons' War. This is not The War of The Military Industrial Combobulated Cartel, or The Schmuck Pimp Media, or The Complicit Congress' War.
This war is ours. The murders are ours. We have done this, and we have not stopped it, and still it goes on.
And it is not one war, but one of many being waged by Us on millions of defenseless victims all over the Earth; war on the poorest and weakest of the people of the world, and all over The USA.
I don't want to hear another word about how hard it has been for US. How difficult it is to be a soldier, or how hard it is to pay the mortgage, or how expensive gas is. This is not about US. It is about our victims.
This is OUR War, and we are not the victims but the perpetrators.
And so far we have done nothing that has impeded it for a minute, much less put a stop to it.
Today, hundreds of thousands of us are in the streets, but little it will matter unless the millions of us who are doing nothing rise up.
You can join us, or you can do nothing, and wait for Obama to do it for you.
This is YOUR WAR. You did it. You continue to do it, and you must stop whatever you are doing to stop it- NOW.
The day has just begun.
There is still some daylight left to seek some small crumb of redemption.
Off your ass my friend. Quit the office or the classroom or the house, get into the street, and do whatever you can - or do nothing.
They are counting on it.

Michael Prysner's testimony at Winter Soldier
Watch the video below!
"We were told we were fighting terrorism... The real terrorism was this occupation... I threw families onto the street in Iraq only to come home and see families thrown onto the street in this country in this tragic and unnecessary foreclosure crisis... Our enemy is not 5,000 miles away: they are right here at home." -- Michael Prysner
In the must-watch video below, Iraq war veteran and ANSWER organizer Michael Prysner retells his horrifying responsibilities as an occupation soldier, and denounces the Army officers who used racism and bigotry in order to justify the oppression of the Iraqi people. Prysner's eloquent and compelling testimony cuts through the Pentagon's propaganda and exposes the truth of the Iraq occupation -- please circulate this video to your friends, family members, classmates, co-workers and listservs.
Prysner joined the U.S. Army at age 17 and in March 2003, he was deployed to northern Iraq. He remained there for 12 months. Bearing witness to the many crimes of the occupation, Prysner became a staunch opponent of the war, and in 2005 he began organizing and speaking out against it. The four-day Winter Soldier event was organized by Iraq War Veterans Against the War.
US-UK-Australian Iraqi Holocaust And Iraqi Genocide
By Dr Gideon Polya
http://www.countercurrents.org/polya190308.htm
On the 5th anniversary of the illegal, war criminal, Australian, UK and US invasion of Iraq we see an ongoing Iraqi Holocaust and Iraqi Genocide - post-invasion non-violent and violent excess deaths 1.7-2.2 million, post-invasion under-5 infant deaths 0.6 million, and 4.5 million refugees out of a current population of about 28 million i.e. about one quarter of Iraqis dead or homeless

The Only Lesson We Ever Learn
Is That We Never Learn
By Robert Fisk
http://www.countercurrents.org/fisk190308.htm
And I will hazard a terrible guess: that we have lost Afghanistan as surely as we have lost Iraq and as surely as we are going to "lose" Pakistan. It is our presence, our power, our arrogance, our refusal to learn from history and our terror – yes, our terror – of Islam that is leading us into the abyss. And until we learn to leave these Muslim peoples alone, our catastrophe in the Middle East will only become graver. There is no connection between Islam and "terror". But there is a connection between our occupation of Muslim lands and "terror". It's not too complicated an equation. And we don't need a public inquiry to get it right
