Bill Moyers

I don't remember the last time I sat and wept about what was going on in the world. Tears flow daily but I can't stop reading the news. When the VA tech shootings happened, I was sad and I thought it was terrible but I was reminded that mass killings happen in Baghdad every week. Our government keeps telling us to be afraid of terrorists and that we are in Iraq to keep us safe from the enemy. But when you ask when will we leave they say someday but if we say give us a date they say, the enemy will come find us and kill us here at home if we give you a date. This week we found out that the Jessica Lynch story was a movie made by our government because they needed a hero. They made this brave POW into something she was not. We also got confirmation that Pat Tillman was killed by friendly fire but our government decided to lie about that and say he was killed by enemy fire. Our government has lied about so many things that are so important and people are dying because of it. They have changed their rationale for this war over and over like an uncooked waffle flipping as each reason gets disproved. Bill Moyers Journal showed us that if no one admits they are wrong, nothing will change. McCarthy did not fall until he admitted that he was wrong. Karl Rove knew this. Bill Clinton did not fall until he admitted that he was wrong. Karl Rove knew this. President Bush will not fall until he admits he is wrong. Karl Rove knows this. The press has no power to challenge him. They FEAR that he has the power to deny access to what they need. Only the people can rise up to throw him out of office but we are also afraid. Bush has spied on us for years he can send in CIA to kill us and lie about it as he has lied about the war. Something has to give. This Administration is incredibly secretive and will viciously attack anyone who disagrees with them, no American should stand that kind of government. We the people cannot allow America to be at war for the wrong reason. John McCain says we are there now, let just deal with it.Iraq is in chaos because "WE" killed their leader and now they are fighting for control as any nation would do. The problem as I see it is that "THEY" had to figure out how to run their county and so do "WE THE PEOPLE"
