Array ( [sid] => 27610 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => IS THERE NOT A BETTER WAY? [time] => 2003-11-21 19:34:21 [hometext] => [bodytext] => In Turkey there is chaos
A bloody tragic chaos
For them its their 9/11
No adequate words to say
All of these explosions
Coming day after day
The terrorists are guilty
Of that there is no doubt
But my heart will always wonder
Was there another way?
Than to match death
With more dead
To stoke the killing machine?
You say they can’t reason
They don’t see what we mean
That we can’t reason with them
But only bring them pain
But when did simple opposition
Bring us much in gain?
Or fail to bring more suffering?
Or bring a better day?
Well a war means all out carnage
But on with the war Bush will say
And isn’t that what we see
More death, mothers grieving
Heartache
Day on day on day?
And my heart can’t help wondering
Is there not a better way?

Well please don't get me started. smile
I support the troops but when Bush refused to honer the Judge that ordered them money 'cause of prisoners of war........Bush was and is on my **** list since.
See my own son was in milatary when we had Operation Dessert Storm. Fffffortunaely the war ended and instead of his former orders to be deployed that day they sent him home.
Bush said no. the guys wouldn't get the money, they r using it to rebuild the war zone.
They have enuff oil 2 take care of them!
When my President can't respect his own Military then my solution would be this.
Send him 2 Irac 2 sup with sadom-n-bin!
In my opinon he's no better than them now!
If he gets away with this then he's liable 2 have them 2 dumb dudes over here helping him rule all the money!
What the USA should do is hire a professionl hit man over there 2 take care the evil 2 then impeach Bush and we the people could actually live in the land of the free!
Sorry, jus found out that my DR.s from over there and now I know why he's so smart elic and hatefull!
told ya , don't get me started!
Great work here!
peace, joy, luv,
emy

All the world's governmental and societal structures were made for the basis of war. Only if we take that which makes this the structure of everyones economical structure away this is the only true way to end war. Taking money away is the only way. Great poem!
