This is not our country – what if another nation decided that they didn’t like what we were doing here – like executing teens or putting minors in jail for life or promoting ten’s of millions who live in poverty and starve and then invaded us and killed our children and tried to take us over? – what right do we have to invade a nation that has not attacked us? We have no right and while China and Japan are quietly signing contracts for oil and minerals. We wage war for profit at our expense. Good thing its not your kids that are being killed. There are 300 corporations receiving billions of our tax dollars. This is a huge loss of revenues – this gives nothing to our nation. The military just takes our dollars and saps our nation of precious money to rebuild our nation and explodes our deficit. Waging war in Afghanistan is wrong and we, the American people need to know what is really going on so we know the violence we are committing and the dangers we are creating to ourselves.

“We have met the enemy and it is us”.

Time to hold our rulers accountable for the actions they commit in secret in our name. Ike was right re the military industrial complex. It is now out of control and with the USA privatizing war, it is now even more hidden.

Mr Bush, Mr Howard, Mr Blair and their advisers for the International War Crimes Tribunal, it’s time.

Good luck Wikileaks', do not let the bastards wear you down.
