Fight the future

Tuesday, Jun. 08, 2004 @ 3:34 p.m.

I had the opportunity to watch Michael Moore's latest film, "Fahrenheit 9/11" yesterday (when I should have spent those 2 hours studying, yes... Heh!). It's gonna be released in theaters June 25th, and I'm making it a personal agenda to tell everyone I know to see it. Everyone's GOT TO see "Fahrenheit 9/11". You owe it to yourselves. It was profoundly disturbing, and it made me extremely furious.

I've never held back my opinions of Bonehead Bush, at least not in this diary... and I'm quite aware that I tend to get overly angered whenever I write about this guy. But I never thought I could get even more pissed off at that idiot as I was until yesterday. I'm making an appeal to the voting public... don't let this selfish, money-making, war-waging, citizen-killing insanity go on. Enough damage has been done. Enough innocent people have died. Bush has already made too much money at our expense, and we now have an entire future of exacerbated anti-American sentiments all over the world because of him. He'll retire with his ill-gotten fortune, and we'll be left to deal with the backlash that he has induced. Enough is enough.

I especially sympathize with the members of the military and their families. Gawd... It's awfully sad, and it's gravely wrong for a parent to have to bury their children... especially after dying as someone else's foot soldier. Bush may be president, but he's got no right to demand the lives of his own people for his own agendas. The military is to defend this country, not to do his personal bidding. I wish there was a way for every single soldier to go on strike... this unnecessary war wouldn't go on without them. If he wants to attack Iraq, let's see him send his own children, and let's see him fight his own battle. Don't tell us how you "can't imagine losing a child or a spouse" when you are the cause of it all, and when there is no cost to you whatsoever in terms of losing your loved ones. Don't give us that lame statement of insincere condolence until you've personally heard a mother and a father cry over the death of their son at the prime of his youth. The death that YOU caused. You don't know loss. You don't know grief. You don't know SHIT.

The only way for the government to feel the futility of this war is if their own children were dying unnecessarily for this man's whims and fancies. As of now, there is only one member of the senate who has a child serving in the military. No wonder the Bush administration doesn't even have to think twice before saying things like "Our troops will stay there as long as it takes." Sure, it's not disrupting your lives and families. It's not your children who's been detained in Iraq in the name of "duty". Let's not forget that this war hasn't even been justified yet. There are still - as of today - ZERO "Weapons of Mass Destruction" found in Iraq. Not even in those "specific locations" that the "intelligence sources" had "uncovered" at the beginning of this massacre. The only "Weapon of Mass Destruction" turned out to be our very own president.

We've invaded a country out of no necessity. In the history books, this would be analagous to the part where Germany invades Poland under the orders of a Nazi madman. And if history repeats itself like it's already started to, I fear the repercussions that may befall this country in the near future.

Do you get the insanity? Countless citizens dying (currently more than the Vietnam War), while he plays golf and takes relaxing vacations. And I feel so helpless and useless, being just a grain of sand on a beach. I'm disgusted by the atrocities, yet there's nothing I can do. Our own futures are being turned against us, against our will, but there's nothing we can do about it.

We've been lied to.

We've had our youths murdered by our "leader".

We now have to live in fear of retaliation for this heinous crime, even though we had nothing to do with it.

Can you blame me for being so angry?
