LPA: This is an attempt to alert American citizens to what your political parties are trying to do, and how they are going about influencing you. The last three years have seen an illegal, immoral war, launched against a country that had no designs on the United States of America, and posed no immediate threat to our basic security or welfare. The United States government, with approval and consent from both major political parties, brutally invaded Iraq and to date have killed upwards of 35,000 Iraqi citizens and almost 2,500 American soldiers.
This war has cost the American taxpayer over $277,000,000,000.00 dollars. That number is billions, not millions. We are still involved in this war with no end in sight, and with our government proclaiming no viable exit strategy. When we entered this unlawful war, we were fighting against the Iraqi Army. Since defeating the Iraqi Army, we have created a vacuum in which belligerents from across the Muslim world have poured into, and we now are fighting many different factions that are partly Iraqi, and partly terrorists from other countries than Iraq. We have a military force in Iraq that is undermanned and badly equipped. Many soldiers that are serving in combat roles in that country, are on their third and even fourth tours of duty there.
The American government is side-stepping this issue, by creating issues that will distract Americans away from this illegal, unjust war, that we are definitely losing. They are bringing up issues such as immigration, same-sex marriages, and other issues to take the focus off of this war. Don’t be fooled by the two major political parties. Don’t let the Democrats tell you that it is a Republican mistake, the majority of Democrats in the House and Senate voted for this war. They are as culpable as the Republicans.
The Liberal Party of America wants the citizens of the United States of America to be aware of what the politicians are doing. We are asking that you hold your elected representatives responsible for the death and destruction that they are bringing to this area of the world. We want you to support our soldiers and demand that our government provide them with body armor and armored vehicles , and the number of soldiers that are needed to bring this sad chapter of American history to an end. We are asking that you hold your elected officials responsible for this travesty, and to remember them at the election booth, and send this administration, and these politicians in Washington a clear message that American citizen’s will no longer put up with military adventures overseas, unless The United States is threatened with a clear and present danger.
There is no way to convey how important this message is. We urge you to e-mail this message to your Congressmen and Congresswomen and to your Senators and to the President, as well as your friends and family. Don’t let our government side-step this all important issue, and let it turn out to be another Vietnam where over 56,000 soldiers lost their lives for a military misadventure.
We are not including the military operations in Afghanistan. There we are facing an enemy that is a clear and present danger. We might have brought those same elements to Iraq. We need to solve this problem in Iraq now, and not let the politicians in Washington defray this problem until 2008. Support out troops. Demand an accounting in Washington. Demand that our government face it’s responsibilities and either end this war that is going nowhere, or win it and bring our soldiers home.
