What r u guy talking about? War is literally a mass murder. And all of us are responsible, we may not want to think it but its our job as American Citizens to put a stop to pointless bloodshed that presidents cause by speaking out.

You throw me when you say, Quote:pointless bloodshed.

Let me see. People in the Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Marines, didn't they sign up for this? Didn't they agree to die for their counrty? Didn't they know that they could lose their lives in the name of America?

And, the terrorists/insurgents that we are killing. Don't they deserve to die? They feel it legitimate to take the life of another in the name of Allah, so why can't we kill them in the name of America? Is the world really a worse place with Saddam Hussein out of office?

And, was it really the president that started this war, or was it the terrorists that started it? Was it Bush first speaking out against the terrorists, or was it the terrorists flying a plane into the World Trade Center?

And, can you really say that you and I caused this war and/or could have prevented it? I mean, really. We don't even have the right to vote the president into office, but we can bring a war to a hault?

And are we all American citizens, because I sure know that I'm not 18.

War is murder for a reason. War is murder with a cause, with a goal. I think what you are describing is more like genocide. Do you think that Bush is retarded? Do you think that he just decided to kill 100's of American soldiers all in the name of "pointless bloodshed"? Hell no he didn't.

So, I guess I disagree with everything you said, not just the pointless bloodshed part.
