You must give love, regardless of how silly it sounds to those who are brainwashed with fear from the propaganda of the system.
In the 1960s THEY told us that the domino theory would bring communist revolutions into Florida if we backed out of Vietnam because everyone would think the US were pussies..
well did the communists invade America? No.. it was all smoke and mirrors like Dr King said, and in the end of the war we did exactly what he said, cease-fire and negotiations. ALL WARS END THIS WAY ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, you either negotiate or you have genocide.. do we want to kill everyone in Iraq? Do we want to kill everyone in Al Queda? Do we want to kill all the Taliban? That is genocide, I want no part in that.
TODAY..
they tell us that if we back down in Iraq or Afghanistan the terrorist boogymen will invade america because they think we are pussies, do we see a pattern here? I say, like the good Dr King did, that we need radical peace, which means IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE.
I say this boldly and with no apologies, IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE. This is not the same as withdrawls, this is an IMMEDIATE STOPPING of MILITARY OFFENSIVE OPERATIONS, which is bullshit. We need to stop fighting an offensive war there, and back out for the sake of the peace we supposedly invaded these countries in order to create, but which this far has proved illusory..
