About Me

The Gas prices are, just like the war, another direct assalt on middle and lower class citizens of American. No longer do we have a sense of pride and joy in our country since our government is seeking out to destroy its citizens. Anarchy now against the evil that has become the american government!We should look to the past to avoid repeating it!... Sassoon's protest, "A Soldier's Declaration," written on June 15, 1917: ... I am making this statement as an act of wilful defiance of military authority, because I believe that the War is being deliberately prolonged by those how have the power to end it. I am a soldier, convinced that I am acting on behalf of soldiers. I believe this War, upon which I entered as a war of defence and liberation, has now become a war of aggression and conquest. I believe that the purposes for which I and my fellow-soldiers entered upon this War should have been so clearly stated as to have made it impossible for them to be changed without our knowledge, and that, has this been done, the objects which actuated us would now be attainable by negotiation.I have seen and endured the sufferings of the troops, and I can no longer be a party to prolonging those sufferings for ends which I believe to be eveil and unjust.I am not protesting against the military conduct of the War, but against the political errors and insincerities for which the fighting men are being sacrificed.On behalf of those who are suffering now, I make this protest against the deception which is being practiced on them. Also I believe that it may help to destroy the callous complacence with which the majority of those as home regard the continuance of agonies which they do not share, and which they have not sufficienct imagination to realise...Siegfried Sassoon...1886-1967...Read before the House of Commons, July 30, 1917, printed in The London Times, on July 31, 1917 (ironically -- perhaps appropriately -- the first day of the Third Battle of Ypres, Passchendaele).Myspace Graphics

As of today...A non-binding goal of ceasing combat operations as of March 31, 2008, is likely. Protesting is a critical part of U.S. democracy. At its core, it is designed to put pressure on government in the lead up to legislative decisions.Pres. George W. Bush is requesting a supplemental spending bill for ongoing operations in Iraq. In the opening congressional negotiations about this supplemental bill, antiwar Democrats like Vermont’s Rep. Peter Welch joined with courageous antiwar organizations to protest the request, with some threatening to vote against the bill and send it down to defeat. That principled protest stance forced Democratic leaders to add binding language into the bill that forces the president to complete a withdrawal of troops from Iraq by September 2008. -

http://mindprod.com/politics/iraqlies.html#FALSEHOODS†œWe have no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved with the September 11th attacks.” ~ George W. Bush 2003-09-17 Since March of last year, Brett Donald’s oldest son, Brent, has been serving in Iraq with the Army’s First Armored Division. As the driver of a Bradley fighting vehicle, Brent has put in 16 months in the combat zone, making countless raids in and around Baghdad. Three times now, Brent has been promised he's coming home. And each time, he's been called back into combat Back when his son joined the Army, Brett Donald was happy he’d be earning money to pay for college and proud of his Brent’s choice. But now, it doesn’t seem like such a good deal. "The tricky thing is," says the father, "once you sign the dotted line, there's not a whole lot of say that you have." - Democrats, in control of both chambers of Congress in Washington after last year's election, are moving unflinchingly toward a high-stakes veto fight with the Republican president over the war. - Yesterday, Prof. John Mearsheimer Ph.D ’80 spoke about the failure of the Bush Administration’s policy in Iraq in his speech, “Why the Bush Doctrine Crashed and Burned in Iraq.” Mearsheimer said that the Bush doctrine was predicated on a neo-conservative vision of foreign policy, one that failed as it discounted the power of nationalism. - He began by saying that Iraq will “go down as one of the two great strategic disasters in U.S. history,” Vietnam being the first, and then proceeded to outline the misconceptions that contributed to the creation of the Bush doctrine. - The Loyola Phoenix was born out of the fire of protest. In 1968, the once-conservative Loyola News stood up against the Vietnam War and changed its stance: No more war. The editors of the paper were fired because of their new resolve and reorganized as the Phoenix, Loyola's anti-war alternative press. But we've become distant from our history. We look back on the Phoenix without truly understanding how it came to exist, why we're allowed to do what we do and say what we say. So here we are again, fresh off the four-year anniversary of the Iraq War, ready to reestablish ourselves, our newspaper, as our predecessors once did. - To understand last week’s passionate debate about the Iraq War spending bill, and why so many committed antiwar members of Congress voted for it, we must understand the difference between protesting and legislating.
