I wonder how many people in the senate and house of commons have sent their family members to war.
I'm really sorry about your friend. I can't imagine how you must be feeling.

I'm sorry for the loss of your friend's life, and all the lives lost in Iraq.
He'll be in our prayers. Don't spray paint his name on the army recruiting office. It's not their fault, and it'll just mean one of two things: You're going to get in trouble, or, a young guy, like your friend, is going to have to go out there and clean it. There is no draft, the government didn't force your friend into service, it's not the military's fault, they serve the country, they don't decide where/who to fight. However, you have a right to be angry, if you feel that his life was lost in vain, or invalid reasoning. I know it's hard, but, try to celebrate his life, and what he lived for, rather then dwell in bitterness over his death. Make your opinion on the matter heard, if it's that NO American life is worth this war, or that this war hurts the people of America and Iraq... but not through destruction. Let people hear the story of your friend, and move them to help you work, to prevent this from happening to someone else. Be strong, help others who were close to him be strong too. He's in a better place now, even if he was taken far too young. -------------------- This is the FiFTY-FOUR effect: (the loveable nemesis)
QUOTE(Grimer 54) Society begets government. Anarchist theory is actually just a pseudo-intellectual state of denial, an idealistic illusion that can never be more than a wholly unfulfilled dream. Thus, it is a counter-productive measure that actually weakens, rather than improves the progress of society as government is inevitable in the maintenance of civilization. Therefore, it is infinitely more effective to pursue political upheaval through the system, rather then against the system. For despite all of its flaws, both Democracy and Capitalism are still rooted within the people themselves by rational and realistic means. That is not to say I advocate the status quo, but instead, a moral pursuit to right the endless wrongs brought on by the evils of human nature, via an unintimidated, undaunted, unmitigated spirit of liberty and justice for all, rather then the destructive hypocrisy of your so-called "revolution." "I may disagree with what you have to say, but I will defend, to the death, your right to say it". - attributed to Voltaire Still a sheltered idealist... but learning: This is no Oasis. |

I'm sure he knew how you felt. I don't think there's much you could have done to make him feel any better, I think everyone who goes to Iraq is terrified.
