What is the point of this “War on Terror?” What victory can we claim as a nation? We have lost our most precious assets, the young men and women who gave their lives. What would society have gained had they lived? We will never know now that they are lost to us.

The hardcore hawks have seen to their demise. Because they believe diplomacy is through force of arms, blood is on their hands.

We have been fed so much propaganda from corporate news that the real truth has been buried. The war on terror is a lie, a cover story to sell a war no sane people would want. Raise the flag and salute Old Glory. While we kill thousands of innocent civilians, destroy a country and wipe out our economy. Is it not time to stop this madness? Take the time to think it out logically, not be the puppets of the politics of fear. There was a song back when I was a young man with the lyric, “War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing.”

End the war. Bring true peace to the Middle East.

    One in 10 Americans will celebrate Thanksgiving Day at a restaurant and more than half will purchase restaurant-prepared takeout items. And the cost is up for those doing it all at home. What are you doing this year?
    I am hosting Thanksgiving at my house.
    I will be a guest at someone’s home.
    I plan to eat out at a local restaurant.
    I will eat at home but we are not cooking: Some or all of the food will be catered.
    I hosted Thanksgiving for years. It is someone else’s turn.
    I have no plans.
