While you were out playing golf...

you managed to screw us all.

After listening to Sky and Bryce's presentation on Thursday, it really opened my eyes and even more, it infuriates me. It infuriates me to know that not only has it costed us $900 billion for weaponry and aircrafts, but it has also cost us the lives of about 4,500 Americans. It infuritates me to know that because our economy is in such a horrible crisis, my parents and the rest of the country are suffering for it. It infuriates me to know that because of this, my father lost his job in March 2009, and now my mother is working her hardest to support a family of five. It infuriates me to know that next year, our family will lose our house. It infuriates me to know that all of this money, being spent on guns, rifles, items used for taking the lives of other human beings, could have been spent on schools and education for millions of children, high school and college students. Bush sent our troops to Iraq, trying to prove himself to be "the man", but unfortunately, that has backfired on him. I really wonder how he can sleep at night, knowing that he is the reason that the rest of the country is suffering. I wonder if he even feels guilt for causing our country to be in debt by $57 trillion. I wonder if he even cares at all for that matter, but then again, he might just be playing golf while the American people are laboring, trying to save their homes and provide for their families. Hearing stories about Sky's personal experiences was very saddening, yet so many ignorant people praise the idea of "war" and think of it as "cool" or great action. No, it is far from that. War means killing other innocent people, war is what causes mothers to cry because she has to bury her son, war ruins homes, families, economies, and war takes away the ones that we love most. Thanks Bush, for everything you've ever done for us.. taking away our money, taking away our jobs, taking away our education, and our own people, all so that you can go to war and prove what a tough guy you are. No love for you, M.
