The war in Iraq has made life in the United States of America truly unbearable for millions of its people. Who exactly are those people and why do they now suffer?
Clearly, most of our troops would rather be home with their family. Some of the National Guard troops are in danger of losing their home because they had to leave their regular job in order to go to Iraq. Then again, there is also the grief of the relatives who lost loved ones and the grief and the suffering of the wounded soldiers.
Our politicians within our Government spent billions of dollars for the creation and use of the new Department for Homeland Security. As of this date, our borders still aren't secure from enemy agents, terrorists, illegal aliens, criminals, deadly, additive and illegal drugs and harmful products and food that caused great harm to the majority of "We People of the United States of America" and their pets.
So too, if you have to fly to a distant place for business or for a much needed vacation, you risk being stripped searched because an airport employee thinks that you might be a enemy agent or an Arab Terrorist. As for me, if I can't walk, drive a bicycle or a car, or ride a train to my destination, I'll stay home and write more stories about how we should remove politically corrupt politicians from our Government of the United States of America.
The balance of payments deficit is sucking most of the wealth out of our Treasury, causing the failure of lending institutions and also causing an increase in interest rates. Then again, multinational corporations are earning huge profits and not giving back much of anything to the workers whose jobs were taken away by the owners and the controllers of those huge multinational corporations.
The majority within our Country have and will continue to suffer greatly from the Iraq war and our politicians' lack of desire to comply with the requests of said majority. A truly corrupt politician is one who doesn't comply with its sworn oath to "Obey, Protect and Defend the Constitution of the United States of America." Who will you vote for in 2008? More important, who will you demand to be removed from Public Office?
Clearly, we certainly don't need or want a Party Polarized Congress of the United States of America," the Mebers of which do nothing more than support the richest people on Earth while the majority of "We People" go deeper into debt, become victims of violent street gang members and are poisoned by foreign products and foods.
