We must speak against all war - and especially the Iraq War.

We must speak against all war and especially against War where innocent people are killed. We seem to have forgotten Nagasaki and Hiroshima. We seem to forget the other senseless wars. Wars bring more harm - butsome profit from war. These evil folks - encourage War to fill their private coffers. The Iraq War is one great example - every month billions are wasted - money that we could use for peace and to uplift the population of the United States of America.
We remember the bombing of Nagasaki and how one Atomic Bomb instantly killed 20,000 people.
Over the years over 70,000 died. Thousands still bear the scars. There is Karma.

Even as we remember the dirty deed some 63 years ago. The bombing of Nagasaki - the "Fat Boy" - the Atomic Bomb assembled at Hunters Point Naval Shipyard in San Francisco.

The Iraq War too has had millions of casualties - thousands of innocent Iraqis live in Syria, in Jordon, in slums. Forced to leave Iraq.

Thousands of Christians who lived in Iraq - for thousands of years - today are killed and in past years thousands have been killed. Thousand others have fled.

Here in the United States - many have no clue what is happening in Iraq.

The lies told by the Main Media are astonishing - perhaps the worst damage caused in recent years - is from the lack of investigative reporting - linked to the Main Media.

A few journalist have done a good job - but it is difficult to read their works.

Depleted Uranium used in Iraq has taken a heavy toll of innocent folks. The most adversely impacted - young children.

Depleted Uranium can kill instantly but it can also kill one slowly:
