Today Americans celebrate Memorial Day, a holiday created to honor the men and women who have died in military service to this country.
War is a terrible thing. It's bad enough when soldiers die for a noble cause, defending our country from true threats. But it's unthinkable for soldiers to have to die for no good reason, like in the current situation in Iraq. In defiance of the United Nations and international law, George W. Bush invaded and is occupying a country that posed no threat to us, at least not four years ago when he started it. And our brave soldiers are forced to do Bush's dirty work.
So please take some time today to grieve for those who have given their lives for Bush's lies. The troops didn't start this war. They're victims of the reckless, senseless ambitions of their Commander-in-Chief. They deserve better.
