**** Invasion of Iraq anniversary (since 2003). STOP THE INSANITY!!! Yearly.
This grossly ill-planned and questionable distraction built on Bush administration lies, ultimately brought increased hatred of Americans and an insurmountable debt. This fool's errand history may judge as a mixture of disaster, nightmare, and treason. Currently hemorrhaging over 2 BILLION $$$ A WEEK!!! By the end of this sociopathic endeavor we'll have wasted enough money to have become energy independent, cured a few top diseases, and put every high school grad through college. With financial ruin at home, burning over half our taxes on wars is unconscionable. Now among the longest in U.S. history, how much more blood and tears must we spill? The very existence of war shames our species. Civilized people END IT NOW!
