Several times in the history of America has the country been divided, by a single powerful thing. War.
Each time the people of America have been at each others throats and as in the times of the Revolution, The Civil War, and Vietnam,
we once again find ourselves a country divided. The war on Iraq is perhaps one of the most intolerable things the American government has

American soldier in to fight and die for something that was never really there. There were no weapons, there was no threat. No threat of course, until Iraqs own forces bared
their fangs. For the past two years our men and women have been fighting and dying for a lie. We have since found Saddam Hussien, the beloved
