Occupations Are Not Won. They Are Ended

Dead Remembered, Living Ignored
By John Perry

Five years, four thousand dead troops, more than one million dead Iraqis.

And not only are we still waiting to hear what the "noble cause" is, but we have yet to hear a definition of victory, or how we'll know when we've achieved it.

What's happening in Iraq is NOT a war. It's an illegal occupation following the illegal invasion of a country that posed no threat to the United States.

Occupations are not won. They are ended. Which is why the Bush administration is calling it a war.

Please check out the links and pass it on. THIS INSANITY MUST END.
