Urge Our Representatives To Represent Us!

With a majority of the American public, a majority in Congress, and the Iraq study group all stating that an escalation of the war in Iraq is a bad idea, SURELY THERE MUST BE SOME WAY TO STOP PRESIDENT BUSH FROM MAKING YET ANOTHER MISTAKE. Are we going to let this incompetent, megalomaniac president lead us further into disaster? THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A GOVERNMENT “OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, AND FOR THE PEOPLE.” I don’t see that. We elected our Congress people to REPRESENT US!!! Let us join together to URGE OUR REPRESENTATIVES once again, “PLEASE, don’t act like sheep and follow our ‘Commander in Chief’ over the cliff. Don’t go along just to let Bush ‘save face’ by being able to blame HIS failures on the Iraqi president and army. Don’t let more of our bright, young, men and women, or more innocent Iraqis, die unnecessarily. Don’t plunge us farther into debt. DON’T TAKE THE LAST VERSTIGES of HONOR and DECENCY from us. If it takes impeachment, IMPEACH!!! NOW!! BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!!! , PLEASE ACT RESPONSIBLY! The whole world is watching and waiting…..”

In Perspective...

73,506 US Civilians Slaughtered In July-August 2006 Occupation!

8342 in California, 399 in Fresno!

This is the equivalent of civilian deaths in Iraq, 6599 confirmed in Jly/Aug of 2006!

Is it any wonder, that 71% of the Iraqi people want us to leave; that in a Zogby poll of US troops serving in Iraq (6/2006) 72% said they “should be pulled out within one year;” that 72% of Americans disapprove of Bush’s handling of this war?

Is it time to replace our Commander In Chief? Has he finally reached his highest level of incompetence, or are we going to allow him to reach higher levels? Do we want an inept civilian Commander, who never experienced battle, making life and death decisions for our troops and directing this deadly war? Do we want someone leading our troops, who naively told Pat Robertson in May of 2003 that “we're not going to have any casualties” (In the Iraqi Invasion)? (Denied By Karl Rove).

Can we continue to support the irresponsible actions of quite possibly “the worst President in the history of America”? In a survey of US historians: 81% concluded the Bush Administration to be a failure!
When are YOU going to demand Impeachment?

Wisdom, Knowledge and Common Sense

Muslim Wisdom In Fresno

Post 9/11 and pre the invasion of Iraq, I had the opportunity to talk to several Fresno and Madera Muslim convenience store owners, owners that I had the privilege of knowing and working with for several years.

In our conversations regarding the imminent invasion they explained to me the consequences of this action: That Iraq would fall into an all out civil war as a result of sectarian and other differences between the Kurds, Shi'ite and Sunni populations. They explained how Saddam and previous Iraqi dictators had managed to viciously, and necessarily, control Iraq, a country that otherwise would be in chaos. Under Saddam's rule, although ruthless, the factions managed to live together in relative peace, integrate into each others neighborhoods and even intermarry.

To bad Mr. Bush did not have the opportunity to talk to Fresno Muslims and listen to their assessment; then again, that would not have worked, he wouldn't and still doesn't listen to and value the opinions and knowledge of anyone who does not agree with him, anyone with common sense, reason and a perspective on history!
