But the loss of even one life on either side is too many in my opinion.

There are 6 families in mourning in the US and hundreds of families in Iran.

Their god says, "Thou shalt not kill," and they reply, "This is a holy war."

There is nothing holy about murder. I am disgusted with the lying about what is happening.

They are not the heroes, they are zeroes--losers! November can't get here quickly enough!

Especially the last stanza:

“They are not the heroes, they are zeroes--losers! November can't get here quickly enough!“. Roughly eight months away, as of this writing.

EVERYONE should see this! This is probably the best video of hers that I've ever seen -- and I'm a BIG fan of hers.

WOW! Well done. Point after point, powerful, succint, passionate... Alarm bells going off!

I hope she gets TV air time today. Is she still on CNN? (I don't do cable)

Share this with EVERYONE! -:- -:- -:- Please!

Thank you, Leigh McGowan!

It had a recurring line "Everybody has to meet his Waterloo."

We don't have the best people evaluating and making these projections. We have loyalists who want to please dear leader. The voices of reason and best judgement were not in on the final decision making -- if they weren't on board with the Bomb Bomb Bombing of Iran.

We're being lied to. We're always being lied to by this administration! About everything!!
