The Cost of War: A mother's view of her son's Iraq

A voice we never hear from in corporate media is that of the military and their families. Tom Engelhardt of the Nation Institute fot Teri Wills Allison, whose son is serving in Iraq to pen her thoughts and experiences about this war. She writes of her personal pain but also the abandonment of soldiers returned injured, the lack of support, proper diagnosis, unjust dishonorable discharges. So much for, "we support the troops." Why the fuck does anybody, most of all those with family in the military support President Twitchy, I will never understand.

Here are some responses to the letter written by Teri Wills Allison. One woman, whose brother fought in the Iran-Iraq war writes, " Wars, all wars, in my opinion, are the ultimate failure of human beings. To say that there is no solution but to kill and maim innocent people is to say that we are, in fact, so stupid that we cannot (or worst won't) come up with a better and more humane solution..." I couldn't agree more.

AND NO, GOD WOULD NOT CHOOSE A DITHERING IDIOT
As for the evangelical slime-balls who think Bush is chosen by the God, "there you go again," taking God for a punk. Why the fuck would an all-knowing God choose a dithering idiot? What's that supposed to say about God? Was Jesus anything like this douche, did Jesus order people killed? Jesus was an "A" cool guy.

AND YES, GOD TOTALLY GETS SCIENCE
Another thing, God totally gets science. It's the pudden-head dullards who don't get it. An all-knowing God gets science; he/she is not bamboozled by it. Otherwise, he wouldn't be all-knowing now, would he?
