I??m too sick at heart at the impending onset of the war. It really is the end of a United States that was conceived on the basis of some very grand ideas not so far from here 227 years ago, replaced by a thug state committed only to bullying the world into submission. Such an endeavor cannot long endure. <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Krissy:<br \/>\n[Quote from CNN]: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2003\/WORLD\/meast\/03\/20\/sprj.irq.target.saddam\/index.html\">&#8220;At the White House, officials said that just before Bush addressed the nation, he pumped his fist, winked, and said &#8216;I feel good.&#8217; He then delivered his address, which lasted four minutes.&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[Krissy]: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livejournal.com\/~kashi\">I worry that his reasons for fighting this war aren&#8217;t the same ones he told us. I think he may be fighting this war for war&#8217;s sake, especially after reading that comment. How can you feel good about this kind of thing? <\/a><\/p>\n<p>I just cannot feel good about this war.  I will pray for the soldiers over there and I will pray for peace.  I just really feel like Bush is telling us it&#8217;s to rid Iraq of Hussein because he has the weapons of mass destruction but I feel also like Bush wants a war to bring glory to himself.  I mean&#8230; there&#8217;s another obvious reason for this war that he hasn&#8217;t mentioned: the human rights abuses by Iraq.
