I would not necessarily classify it as murder. The American president was never held accountable for the 57,514 men who died in Vietnam. However, to continue to insist that these brave young men in Iraq are dying in the name of defeating terrorism and giving their lives for our freedom is another matter entirely.
I would classify that as a step below murder. Generally, when you murder someone you look them in the eye. This President looks their parents, brothers and sisters, children and other loved ones in the eyes and has the audacity to tell them on national television that this war is for our freedom, and to fight "terrorism". If he would only mention that the word "terrorism" (9/11 terrorism as we know it) was never used to describe Iraq before our fraudulent invasion to remove the "weapons of mass destruction".
This President is something far more sinister than a murderer. He is a liar and a deceiver of millions. He has caused the deaths of more innocent Americans and innocent Iraqis than OBL ever could have. And his legacy will only grow. With every "terrorist" he kills, he creates a hundred more. Every day the world sees images of Iraqis murdered, tortured and dumped in ditches, they think of only one thing: America has done this. Their hatred is multiplied. It would not matter if Bin Laden and all his deputies were killed today, our Leader has created hundreds, thousands to take their place. All are ready to die for the injustice they perceive America has rendered on the Arab world.

This war may have been based on a lie but it is still just. Besides, all personnel are volunteers and can opt out of any war.

Yup I believe it is. When they sent my son in law over they gave him a list of items he needed to purchase before leaving. The list contained approximately $1,000.00 worth of items. He asked his commander how he was supposed to buy that stuff and was told that it was not his commanders problem go get a loan. On that list was his body armour and side arm. Now thats what I call a crime.

No I don’t think it is. No one is forced to be in the Armed forces. It’s something people agree to do by either joining active duty or Reserve. If you join thinking that you’ll never be deported to somewhere whether that is War or Peace keeping, there are chances you could be killed its all apart of the job and something the soldiers are willing to risk when they sign up.

Yes, when a war is never declared and a wanna be tyrant invades a country for all the wrong reasons like Bush did. I wonder what these people think?

Why? They get paid a lot of money to do it. Also, your not forced to join the army. Plus, you can blame all the idiots who made Geroge Bush president if you have so much problem with the war.
