Bush the War Criminal

Being a veteran, fortunately from an era of relative peace (1955-1963), I cannot put myself into a war veteran's mind. I can only honor these American warrior patriots' sacrifices, some of whom gave their ultimate. But when this or any country sends young men and women into the hell of war and there is no threat to our freedom or even our way of life, I become livid with frustration and rage. I raged against the Vietnam War and its 58,000 dead Americans and now this insane Iraq war with its 2,800 (and growing) dead. What maniac thought that dumping Saddam Hussein would somehow protect America. Bush and his neocons thought that or at least said they thought that, which proves that they were either insane or totally bereft of feelings for the men and women they asked to sacrifice for their political gain.

They are war criminals without a doubt and are probably responsible for more dead Iraqis than Saddam. They have slaughtered over 100,000 Iraqis, most of whom were harmless, impoverished people who's only crime was to be sitting on top of billions of barrels of oil.

In the name of the many dead and wounded American veterans, we must bring Bush and his maniacal advisors before Congress and demand they explain their treachery.
