Remember the War?

A whole lot of people I've been talking to recently seem to have forgotten that the USA is still wagin an illegal war in Iraq. Sorry folks, it's still going on. Thousands of Iraqi people are still dying because a certain global superpower has an insatiable appetite for oil. But awesome to see the protest movement having another swell at the moment around Cindy, a mother who wants to talk to Bush about her son dying in Iraq. The photo above was from one of the many protests across the US and the world. It's from this awesome photo set at Dee's Dotes. Ask yourself, how much oil have I used today? And even better for those of you who hate to recycle plastic, how much oil have you thrown in the ground today?

Yeah but they're not bombing the hell out of other nations to get it. Oppressing their own people, sure. But creating global unrest, I'm not convinced.
