Advice to John Kerry

"The motivation is different, even though it's a poor one. "

While I agree with you about that, folks standing around a bombed out building looking at body parts don't usually take a moment to say "You know, before we give in to rage, I think we should examine the motivation of the guys who dropped that bomb."

Dead is dead. Suffering is suffering. I hate Osama Bin Laden for bringing that to America. I hate anyone who kills folks and then plays with the bodies. But I have no connection to those things. A large chunk of the money I earn is paying for this war. I am a participant is this suffering. In Afghanistan I thought that an unavoidable tragedy, but it still made me feel sick. In Iraq? My money is killing people and putting Americans in front of bullets because W. thinks God wants him to do it.
