Vic: You have more cajones (sp) than I do. I wanted to say the same thing. It is so difficult to express feelings and things I learn in regards to this war, because there are good soldiers, with good hearts fighting there, and families supporting their children. I promise you, I say this with tears in my eyes. But gosh darn, if we dont speak out, more will die for reasons other than what are told to us. In my opinion, it was a drug situation. The CIA uses the poppy fields to fund their havoc. And the heroin flows on the streets of America. On a lighter note: been thinking lately about some of the more enlightened musical groups as you mentioned. They knew what was going on, even back then. Crazy. Thanks for the post Vic, and thanks again to salem-news for pushing past the lies. p.s. CSNBC had their viewership drop 50% lately. Nobody likes a liar, and I hope S-N gets their business.

The so-called "civilians" were DEA agents...hardly my idea of civilians. When the government is a military regime, employees are not civilians, in my eyes. I wonder when Obama is going to end these illegal wars like he promised over a year ago? So far all he has done is escalate the war. We have been lied to....again.
