Stop the Madness

It seems they started this war upon a lie. Where are all the W.M.D.s that caused so many of our young to die? We’ve got Sadam, but where’s Bin Laden? He’s the one we started after, maybe you’ve forgotten. September the eleventh is where it all began. As the Twin Towers fell people on the streets screamed and ran. The television news that was all we could see. Terrorists bringing destruction to the land of the free. I personally think we should bring our troops home and lock our doors. We keep letting them in we’re just asking for more. We’re strung out so thin they could walk right in. And you can bet given the chance they’ll do it again. There was one good thing that came out of nine one one. For awhile it brought us closer to God each and everyone. We will never change Iraq’s culture so why do we stay. It’s to a different God that most of them pray. I believe what we’re doing is wrong but that’s just my thought. Our way of freedom to them can never be taught. I pray for peace and a better way. I pray for our country and our president each and everyday. I just feel like what we are doing will never work. What I am seeing is another Vietnam is this just a quirk? I don’t think it really matters for our time seems to be drawing near. I keep looking to the clouds in hopes to see our Savior appear. I guess I’d better close cause I’ve said enough. And if then they want to push, then we can call their bluff.
