Why I Fled George Bush's War

Posted on Wednesday, March 07 at 09:14 by Diogenes
Iraqi kids surrounded me in swarms, hands out, asking for water and food. I kept hearing the last words [my wife] Brandi said to me before I flew out: "Don't you let those terrorists near you, Josh. Even if they are kids. Get them before they get you." http://www.macleans.ca/world/global/article.jsp?content=20070205_140356_140356

    I'd have deserted to if I was expected to do what I read in the article.

    That is no way to "win the hearts and minds" of the people you are supposed to be liberating.

    Even now after the Libby trial, people will still be considered deserters if they refuse to fight in Iraq. A war proven to not be a war but an actual invasion. There are still Americans who justify the action because Saddam Hussein was captured and executed. Nothing has changed the mentality since Hiroshima.
