let me begin by telling u a little bit about myself... i'm a 23 year old girl born and raised in brooklyn, new york. i've never been really politically active, but the current political atmosphere has incensed me to the point of serious anger. i don't know what it is, exactly, that has spurred the all too popular trend of discrediting, humiliating and censoring anyone who has publiclly questioned the war in iraq or this administrations policies. it used to be the most important right we had, that if we saw our elected officials doing something wrong or we as a people thought our country was headed in the wrong direction, we would hold our government responsible. it seems to me that something in the past few years has changed that. our constitution was written to protect this country and all those who live in it from the democracy our fore fathers envisioned becoming a tyranny. but somehow, and i'm not sure how it's happened, it has now become almost criminal to speak out against our government and its policies. our basic and fundamental freedom to speak our minds is being infringed on more and more along with the right to a free press and protest. as of late, i've taken to watching bbc news to find out what's really going on in this farce of a war because it seems to be a 5th rate story in our papers and newscasts. republican pundits have taken it as far as saying those of us who are against this war are on the side of the terrorists! pardon me... but i was under the impression that osama bin laden is the one who masterminded 911. yet within months of of the so called war on terror he'd been nearly forgotten. our president and his cronies put on a big show telling us that sadam hussein was harboring weapons of mass destruction and aiding and abetting al quaeda.. all of the sudden we were watching iraq get bombed in a fantastic show of "shock and awe". turns out, there were no, zero, zilch weapons of mass destruction and sadam (this great beast of a man) was found cowering in a spider hole. he has yet to be connected with al queada. 655,000 innocent iraqi civilians have been killed thus far, along with 3,000 of our boys in a war that was based on a lie. osama is probably smoking a cigar rejoicing in the fact that us "evil americans" have given him a whole new generation of islamic children who will hate us because we killed their mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers who never had anything to do with anything and just happened to be on bush's hit list. we have, sadly, become the terrorists to them. our media is inundated with republican pundits who blindly follow the leader without question and defend bush's actions by cherry picking the facts they like, ignoring the facts they don't, or just plain lying to the public... it has been proven time and time again that there is serious corruption within the entire administration, yet there is always a fall guy and no one on the top is ever held accountable. it's so odd that president clinton, who did more for this country than a lot of his predecessors, was nearly impeached for having an extra marital affair, yet bush is sitting pretty in the white house after blatently lying and manipulating the american people, not to mention the world. we have a serious responsibility to show the world that we, the people of the united states of america, are not behind bush, his idealism or his policy; for the sake of our children and what our country is based on. lets get our acts together, storm the halls of justice, and demand the bush administration be held accountable for his actions!
