It's no good to sit here and pretend that we're not in war, cause we are. And I'm convieniently avoiding the newspaper and CNN for the strategic reson of not wanting to hear about it.
Anti-war, pro-war? It makes no sense to me why people would kill. Why some people want to kill. And there's good people out there that fight, saying that the ends justify the means. But that's a blatant lie. The means are never justified.
I don't have an opinion, and I've never really been a person with all these political strategies. Hell, I'm even avoiding my campaign for student council president. I know what's going on, and I know that some things need to change. But I am only one small person, one small, stupid person. It's not like I can stand on a wooden box and say, "Stop fighting," and then everyone will hug each other and cuddle with teddy bears. There is always going to be that hate, that need for revenge. Because he killed your mother, it's okay to kill his brother, right? Because the ends justify the means, right? This is your justice? Does it make you feel good.
And if it sounds like I'm making excuses not to get involved, I am. I'm no bleeding heart, but I'm no savage. I would die to protect those that I love, for the country that raised me. But I just want to now when the killing is going to stop. It didn't work with Cain and Abel, so why is it going to work for us?
So, Mr. Bush, do what you feel is necessary. I'm just a kid, I can't stop you. I'm not even going to curse you or say things about how I'm anti-America, cause I'm not. It's not that I'm opposing or not opposing this war. I'm just saying that war sucks, period.
