"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

Yes, that is quite a disgusting amount of money. At the same time, I feel myself torn because of the fact that i Have family members who are in the armed forces and are actually in Iraq right now. While I do not condone them being there, I certainly want them to come home alive and well. War is a bitch.

yeah: i dont want people dying either. there needs to be a better solution. i dont see why that has to tear you though, in my mind that should make you even more adamant for an end to hostilities, so that might bring them home.

i wish we still had presidents who thought like that.
