Millions of Americans have marched in the streets of all of the major US cities opposing wars in the Mideast. Yet the US Congress, which supposedly exists to represent the will of the people, refused to listen. Instead, they voted the President the authority to take this nation to war. More recently, and despite the exposure of the President's justifications for war as fiction, Congress again voted for more war by voting against legislation intended to end US involvement in Iraq, introduced by Kucinich, Abercrombie, and Woolsey.

So, the US Congress isn't listening to the people. They are listening to someone who WANT more war.

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is a special interest group that lobbies the United States Government in favor of maintaining a close U.S. - Israel relationship. Describing itself as "America's Pro-Israel Lobby," it is a mass-membership organization including both Jews and non-Jews, and is considered one of the most powerful political lobbies in the United States.

I wish I had the answer for that. I fear I am not quite up to it intellectually. All I can do is keep myself educated as much as possible and help out wherever I feel it may actually do some good--however little that may be.

i think the true victims of all of this will be the innocent. any of those who believe and support these crimes, anyone who doesnt make the effort to stop their own government, who is supposed to represent them....those people are not innocent.

help the innocent, let the guilty be guilty. they will be the ones who suffer in the end.
