Life Update.

*****Ok, since people on Facebook might read this, I thought I would go ahead and put up a content warning. I am severely pissed off, so the language in this post might be stronger than your average chai latte slang. So be careful you don't offend yourself reading it. *****

I think I am going to write a book.

I might also move to Canada. Many of you who know me, know that, as long as you have known me, I have supported the President's decision to go to war in Iraq. Well, here recently I have become more and more heartbroken over the loss of countless troops, in a distant country where they don't give a shit about America, so why should we give a shit about bringing them Democracy? Yes I bought into it at first, because I thought it was a good idea. Go there, bomb a couple of places, overthrow despots, and building schools and hospitals, and rebuilding their Mosques, etc, etc.

Well, that is obviously not what is happening over there. And to make matters worse, nobody in Washington knows how to end this shitstorm, because the Republicans don't give a shit about the soldiers, they just give a shit about "God and the American way" and scaring people into voting for them by using the Patriot Act to call anyone who brushes their teeth with anything other than than what they approve of to be a Terrorist. Continuing the war is their way of continuing to control the populace. And the Democrats don't give a shit about the soldiers or ending the war either, they just see Republican bashing, and getting in their fair share of "I told you so's", and bashing the war in Iraq as a platform to push their ideals on you, and to make you want to vote for THEM instead. And now the Dem's wanna cut funding to the troops, in an effort to "end the war" due to a lack of funds?

I don't see how cutting funding to the men and women who are stuck in the sand and shit over there is going to help get them home. Spending less money on their armor and weaponry is gonna end the war? I don't think so. The only way that is going to end the war is when the insurgents kill the rest of the people who are stuck fighting over there, and there isn't an Allied soldier LEFT to fight. Then the war is over, they win, and what have we accomplished?

Absolutely nothing. Actually, we have accomplished a whole bunch of shit, it's just that none of it is GOOD shit. We have killed an elderly man (not saying he didn't have it coming), we have started a civil war, we have ripped apart families (The families of the Allied soldiers who lost their lives, and the Iraqi insurgents, who wouldn't be insurgents in the first place if we weren't there in the first fucking place), and we have lost face with the world at large.

So I guess this is just my way of saying "Hey George, thanks for getting my friends killed, you fucking asshole." I just want all of my fellow Americans who are still over in Iraq to know that although I may not know them all, I love them, and I want them all to come home safe and sound, and I want this stupid fucking war to be over with, now.
