Does it end there? Does it end with honorable mention as to the war dead? Do all the people in mosaics by nearly every newsprint in the country as used in 'the faces of the dead' in a tribute to those lost in Iraq. Do we satisfy ourselves with that level of 'grassroots' respect or do we take it to a level whereby there will never be another Casey Sheehan ever again in the USA?
Where does it go from here?
This is the second time in less than half a century that young Americans died in a faux war. THE SECOND TIME.
The Bush White House, no different than the Republicans of the 60s when Nixon coined 'The Silent Majority,' have used the belief of whom we are as Americans to justify war and continue it. Vietnam started under Eisenhower as a benign attempt to settle WWII according to treaties now dissolved.
Iraq was begun under false beliefs about the lack of power the UN actually had in succeeding to stop a dictator in his rampage of hatred of anyone not serving him.
I believe most Americans believe the 'days of war' are over. The world has mostly achieved peaceful balance between sovereign countries. The last bastion of war lies with 'the individual' capable of doing such damage to a society it strikes out in a war effort to stop it.
Were the attacks into Afghanistan correct? Why didn't it work? Why didn't it end the reign of Osama bin Laden? Was the Afghanistan invasion simply an excuse of the Bush/Cheney Crony machine to engage 'the belief' America has about itself to justify a profiteers war?
Where does it stop? When does Casey Sheehan have meaning beyond 'the moment' to transcend 'the beliefs' America has about itself?
What's it going to take to realize the USA has to go through reformation to obtain a new 'belief' about itself?
