You didn't actually think that I would end on Bush's State of the Union speech, did you? As heart warming and comforting his speech was, I still could not understand why we were going to war with Iraq. Is it because of the threat they pose to the United States? Why would Iraq go to war against the best military on the planet? I understand that this "threat" is magnified because of what happened on 9/11. There is no doubting the evil and insanity that occured that day. And I want nothing more than for the terrorists to be stopped. But why Iraq? Is Iraq really tied to the terrorists? And if there is a serious threat being posed, why have the UN not given us the green light? Why is there a divide in NATO? Also, if the US is so careful and have the best interest of the US citizens, are they really doing everything they can to protect us? Because as Michael Moore pointed out, lighters and matches are still allowed to be carried on an airplane.
I want to thank you for listening to me and for visiting this site. I stated in the beginning that my reason for creating this site was to document what I've learned. But in truth, the main reason that inspired me to spend innumerable hours on this project was that I needed comfort in knowing that people do understand what's happening out there. A friend once told me that she felt comfort and peace when she heard someone else speak about the unfairness that goes on in the world. And hearing someone talk about the same things that she felt passionate about made her feel better. I could never agree more.
