      I AM A STRONG BELIEVE THAT THE WAR IN IRAQ WAS A MISTAKE FROM THE BEING. I AM NOT A BUSH FAN AND BELIEVE THAT HE START THIS WAR BECAUSE HE HIS FATHER WAS NOT ABLE TO BRING HUSSIAN DOWN AND HE WAS GOING TO PROVE THAT HE CAN. iN TH EMEANTIME THERE ARE MILLIONS OF CHILDREN DYING FROM HUNGRY AND AIDS. tHERE ARE COUNTRIES THAT ARE ELIMATING ENTIRE RACES, RELIGIONS AND PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE SOME THING THAT THEY DO.
