Today, March 19th 2007 marks the fourth anniversary of the war in Iraq. The last four years have been the cause of much concern and strife within the American population, and the future doesn't seem to hold any quick answers.
President Bush is calling for yet another emergency funding for the war, warning Americans that their safety is on the line. One would think that Bush would begin to actually seek other alternatives and solutions to leave Iraq , since even Congress has begun to change their positions.
Several Congressman, including Senator Kerry (Bush's opponent in the 2004 election), have been speaking out. They are not denouncing the war outright, but rather the tactics of the Bush administration over the last four years.
At this juncture in time, I think that it is extremely important that Americans put their minds and mouths to work. People need to be questioning their government and its actions. No longer can we lie back, passively accepting all of the information, and reasonings that we are hand fed about this war. It has been four long years, and let's face it who knows how many more.
It's time that we demand answers, and a plan. No more tentative this or that; a real solution is crucial to the future of this war. It's time Americans open up their eyes and see what is going on. See the blood shed, the destruction, all of the horrors associated with war. Just because we can not see the daily destruction doesn't mean that it's not there. It's time for an end.
