"We must have a foreign policy that is both strong and smart. Yes, the Republicans have been strong, but they haven't been smart. And the policy is one big mess, everyone knows it."

Tell me again why we're there.

It's four Memorial Days and counting since "Mission Accomplished." We still have 132,000 American troops in Iraq. A million of our men and women have served by now, giving of themselves in tragic and extraordinary ways. Yet the insurgency is growing bolder - not fading away.

Tell me again why we're there.

Already, 2,465 Americans have been killed. Another 18,184 have been wounded. No one knows how many Iraqi civilians have died - 30,000? 40,000? - in this costly effort to save them.   more »

On Memorial Day, Another Inconvenient Truth

Mary MacElveen,

May 28th, 2006

 

As Al Gore takes the world by storm in his environmental movie an "Inconvenient Truth" in which he shows the horrors of man’s impact on the environment, another inconvenient truth must be realized on this Memorial Day. Since the "Bush War" in Iraq started on March 19, 2003, more than 2460 of our soldiers have been killed. They are dead for a convenient lie and set of lies put forth by George W. Bush.

 

I even wish to include in this piece that since the ...   more »

View Article  Imagine if Bush Had Allowed This Aid Coming from Cuba for Victims of Katrina?
by Radio Left on Sun 28 May 2006 09:49 AM EDT

Dear Folks,

 

I just found this wonderful article chronicling the aid that Cuban doctors gave to the citizens of Pakistan after Katrina hit us and it reminds me of the aid in which Cuba stood ready to send us 1,500 disaster relief trained doctors in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.  Yet, Bush said no.  The president of Pakistan put his citizens first and while we were still reeling from the affects of Katrina, the Pakastani president allowed Cuba to come to the aid of his citizens.  Does everyone remember just how bad conditions were in that Super Dome and ...   more »

View Article  Bush and Cheney Should Be Tried and Not These US Marines
by Radio Left on Sat 27 May 2006 11:57 PM EDT
Below is my letter to the editor at the UK Guardian after reading this piece: Marines may face trial over Iraq massacre

Mary!

To: 'letters@guardian.co.uk'
Subject: Bush and Cheney Should Be Tried and Not These US Marines.

Dear Editor,

I just finished reading your article; “Marines may face trial over Iraq massacre” these Marines in my opinion have been stressed to the limit while serving in Iraq. While that does not excuse their actions, it is my belief that they were suffering from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).    more »
