What happened to
the nation that never tortured? The nation that wasn't supposed to
start wars of choice? The nation that respected human rights and
life? A nation that from the beginning was against tyranny? Where
have we gone? How did we let these people take us there? How did we
let them fool us?

"I will not vote for or
support any candidate for Congress or President who does not
make a speedy end to the war in Iraq, and preventing any
future war of aggression, a public position in his or her
campaign."
