Bombing For Peace Is Like Fucking For Virginity

Does this look like peace to you?
As everyone is being told, this war on Iraq is for 'peace'. So of course we all know the best way to achieve peace is to blow ppl up. Peace is when everyone gets along, no more wars or fighting. And the best way to achieve peace is declare war on a country so you can kill all their military and civilians.
If you control the country they can't attack you.
If you kill the country they can't attack you.
...Am I the only one who finds something wrong with this idea?...
So this war is supposed to be about peace? How can it be? It seems to be more about power. The United States attacks Iraq and gains control so it's able to have their own military base there also. Then they have more control. I mean, it's not like Iraq is even a threat. So why must the U.S. attack them, when they KNOW they have more military power than Iraq.

Is the name of the game,
The bottom line is money,
Nobody gives a fuck.
4000 hungry children leave us per hour
from starvation,
while billions spent on bombs,
create death showers.
Now the other day I was talking to someone who was pro-war. Saying it's nessicary, that the U.S. is freeing Iraq from Saddam. But, what about the oil? You may want to try and deny it, but Bush is definatly it. And what about the innocent civilians? People who have nothing to do with it, children, dying just because they happened to get in the way. So of course the person I was talking to tried to say "Oh, well they aren't killing civilians."
Wrong. Dead Wrong.
Here's an article I found from MSNBC and the funny thing is, if you hear about this on CNN the story will have been changed to make it sound like it was their own fault for getting shot.
Central Command said 13 women and children were in the van shot at Monday. But a Washington Post reporter traveling with the 3rd Infantry said 15 passengers were in the van and that 10 were killed, five of them children who appeared to be younger than age 5.
Central Command said initial reports indicated the soldiers followed the rules of engagement to protect themselves. “In light of recent terrorist attacks by the Iraqi regime, the soldiers exercised considerable restraint to avoid the unnecessary loss of life,” the statement said.
The Post reporter, however, quoted a 3rd Infantry captain as saying the checkpoint crew did not fire warning shots quickly enough.
The Post described a captain watching the incident through binoculars and ordering the soldiers by radio to fire a warning shot first and then shoot a 7.62mm machine-gun round into the vehicle’s radiator. When the vehicle kept coming, the captain ordered the soldiers to “stop him!”
About a dozen shots of 25mm cannon fire were heard from one or more of the platoon’s Bradley fighting vehicles, the Post said.
The captain then shouted over the radio at the platoon leader, “You just [expletive] killed a family because you didn’t fire a warning shot soon enough!” according to the Post.
“It was the most horrible thing I’ve ever seen, and I hope I never see it again,” Sgt. Mario Manzano, an Army medic, told the Post. ---MSNBC.com
