              tired of this patriotic, nationalistic and fascist crap. I stood 
              through a memorial service today for a young Marine that was killed 
              in Iraq back in April. During this memorial a number of people spoke 
              about the guy and about his sacrifice for the country. How do you 
              justify 'sacrificing' your life for a war which is not only illegal, 
              but is being prosecuted to the extent where the only thing keeping 
              us there is one man's power, and his ego. A recent Marine Corps 
              intelligence report that was leaked said that the war in the al-Anbar 
              province is unwinnable. It said that there was nothing we could 
              do to win the hearts and minds, or the military operations in that 
              area. So I wonder, why are we still there? Democracy is not forced 
              upon people at gunpoint. It's the result of forward thinking individuals 
              who take the initiative and risks to give their fellow countrymen 
              a better way of life. </FONT></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B4ED6A42-E43D-492A-8D90-FDC84E198642/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
