PEACE ANYONE Jesus could wash the feet of his passover guests,even Judas, and the
President can't even deign to talk to Iran's president and our sectarian enemies in Iraq, for peace? does he
even know what he wants from them? The President is disrupting the lives of more than 150000 American soldiers plus their
families who should be enjoying the best days of their lives. And they are the lucky ones; others are being injured,blown
up, mutilated, or dying. The President should be doing nothing else but working for peace; every day, all
day, and not let more die while he sits around waiting for Mccain or the Democrats to solve his mess.
Romans 12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome
evil with good.
We will lose Iraq and the middle east to the terrorists if we leave Iraq. They
used fear to keep us in the vietnam war too. How Red China would like dominoes 1 by 1 take over all of southeast Asia.
Red China was more interested in their economy than in war. The U.S. spread the free world with our art,science
and engineering during the IKE and JFK years, not with war.You can't do it by force, by killing people.
But nobody can deny that any citizen who wrote the following about their country's policies would
have been shot and probably 1st tortured in NAZI GERMANY, IN SADDAM'S IRAQ and at least imprisoned in today's
Red China. Hopefully, we don't become them.
This 10 feet by 18" collage, acrylic paint on paper, in four
panels, reflects in graphic detail the horror of the Iraq War from its glorious beginning to its ongoing tragedy. As
of May, 2008, according to IRAQBODYCOUNT.ORG, there have been from 83521 to 91094 documented civilian
deaths from violence since our invasion of Iraq; civilians are defined as men women and children not fighting
in the war.
There are well over 100,000 dead and more than 100,000
wounded and mutilated, when we include the combatants. My statistics on the collage are as of 8/2006 or earlier, as noted.)
And according to REFUGEESINTERNATIONAL.ORG, there
are 4 1/2 million refugees, who have fled their homes
in Iraq.
Hopefully someday we will have leaders with the humility,
the mind, the desire to make peace with our enemies; at this point we can not possibly kill them all. When
a child or an adult solves his problems by fighting, we call him immature, sophomoric; if he uses violence, a criminal.
What do we call a nation? Its more difficult to solve problems with reason, with your brains but so easy to kill.
Our President has the charm and brains to meet with Iranian
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Iran's Supreme Leader
Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and convince them to work with him, as Iran its reported did in Aphganistan,rather
than against him in establishing peace in Iraq and in all of the middle east. But does our President
have the humility?
Hopefully, I give credit herein to every person and website for their words and photos above
and below. Otherwise, for better or worse, all the words and thoughts are mine.

| PANEL I. PRE-INVASION EXCITEMENT |

Just call it
a war, not a crime
We made
a nothing group of murderers, the heroes of the Arab world.
How many innocent people are imprisoned in this war on terror or
have been killed branded a terrorist, that is a murderer without ever even been charged of any crime, no less convicted
before an impartial judge or jury?
Who dare talks of charges
and evidence? This is war stupid. Not a crime.
It is a tiring
process of arresting and then proving someone guilty in a court of law. If its war, innocent people can be imprisoned
and killed instead. Justice is so slow and cerebral.
How many people
have been arrested and convicted of planning or conspiring in the 9/11 murders? One. Two. How many of the guilty still walk free? We announced to the world who was guilty: a
good cop would have waited until they were in handcuffs and jail.
We made a nothing group of
murderers the heroes of the Arab world.
Some of the Handwritten and Typed words on the collage.
Thank God we have god on our
side. Is a terrorist a killer without God on its side?
To the British, wasn’t George Washington
a terrorist or just a member of the insurgency?
SAVE US MR. PRESIDENT FROM WEAPONS OF
MASS DESTRUCTION.
Also save us from gay marriages, people
who degrade the flag, from poor people who don’t work enough, lawyers, the n.y. times, gun control,
dirty words, naked bodies.
THE WAR CRIMES TRIALS LEGAL AND STRATEGIC ISSUES by Ben S. Austin http://www.mtsu.edu/~baustin/trials2.html
THE INDICTMENT AGAINST THE NAZIS AT NUREMBERG
The indictment which served as the basis for the
trial and for charging the defendants contained four counts:
Count One - The Common Plan or
Conspiracy to wage an aggressive war in violation of international law or treaties.
Count Two - Planning, preparation,
or waging an aggressive war
Count Three - War Crimes -- violations
of the international rules of war (mistreatment of prisoners of war or civilian populations, the plunder of private property
and the destuction of towns and cities without military justification)

| U.S. INVADES IRAQ MARCH 20, 2003 |
We have talked to Stalin and to Arafat for peace. Insane.
They are always excluded. The so-called terrorists. We can not kill them all. Nor the insurgency. For every insurgent(for
every civilian, child) we kill or mutilate in Iraq how many enemies do we get? Family, friends, his church,... How many terrorists do we get? The math is against killing.
Before
IRAQ and the Arab Terrorists, the Red Chinese were our evil enemies. Then
Pres. Nixon and Bush Sr. started to talk to them, share with them: art, economics, engineering, science but not bombs and
death. Now they are our great friends.

100,000 WOUNDED
THE LUCKY ONES the wounded & mutilated
Query? One country invades a country that is then living in peace, and kills or jails all in its ruling government. Then
partisan sects fight each other for power to fill the void. Is the invading country responsible for the ensuing sectarian
casualties, in addition to the wounded, mutilations and deaths their invasion and occupation directly caused?
