*grumble* I remember a guy I worked with, a Marine reservist named Alex, at the place where I worked when 911 happened. He got called up.

I still think about him from time to time; unfortunately, there about three or so famous people who share his name so searching even for “Alex LASTNAME USMC” doesn’t return any usable results. I’d like to know how he’s doing, and I wonder to myself whether he’s among those 4,000.

My personal experience is that the families of the fighters, and the fighters themselves, still have a majority of members who favor the BUSHCO agenda. So be it. I still respect them as mch as I can because it is they, and not I who will pay the ultimate sacrifice.

On the other hand they all still only get one vote in any true democracy, and their votes are in favor of the losing side. While that may still leave their sacrifices bearable to them, we must not let that dictate policy for our nation, let alone for the greater community of people that we share the planet with. The human race must still try to grow in ways that the warrior class is incapable of, and they need to accept (unless they simply have too much aggression in their souls to permit it) that the vast majority will point the true way forward for all of us.

I watched George Bush last week say that he did the right thing on Iraq and he would do it again. Also I watched Bush make jokes about no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq at the National Press Club function. When John Kerry introduced a bill in July 2006 to get us out of Iraq by 2007, the Bush Adminstration said they had a plan of their own. July 2007 has come and gone and July 2008 is right around the corner. What is the plan now?
I wish John Kerry was President today!! Instead we have Bush and Cheney( NeoCons, Inc.)
