Our ignorance is their power
I watched a documentary film about civil movements in Berkeley, California. It is the city whose council voted to stop US air strikes on innocent people in Afghanistan in 2001. The council also said that they opposed the attack in order to minimize the risk of American military personnel.
The air strikes killed more than 2000 innocent Afghan people, and even now O.B.L. is on the loose, and Taliban is active there. O.B.L. was not in Iraq, nor did Iraq support O.B.L., but Bush Administration invaded Iraq and let more than 3000 American soldiers die there with killing tens and thousands of Iraqi citizens. For what??? Where is O.B.L.? Where is W.M.D.?
On the film one man was selling stickers on the street. One of them read "Our ignorance is their power." We have to see the truth and stop feeding our money and life into the false wars.

Why We Fight
Four years have passed since US invaded Iraq. More than 3000 American soldiers were killed in the war, and the death toll of Iraqi civilians is uncountable: 60,000 or half a million?
I have been wondering why America must fight. Why does she spend much of her fortune on killing machines, and let young American men and women die on foreign soil far from their homeland? Do you believe that America is fighting terror or for her freedom? Here is the movie I really want all Americans to watch and think about. It is not for me or for Iraqis; it is for you, all innocent American citizens.
