Another March, another war anniversary post. We’ve now been waging an unconstitutional, immoral, unjustified “war” on Iraq for EIGHT YEARS.

Though it’s not really a war, of course— it’s an invasion and occupation.

So what have we accomplished in all this time?
4,758 dead soldiers, over ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND dead Iraqi civilians, and lots more.

There’s plenty I could write about for this latest disgusting anniversary. Hard to choose. The civilian deaths? Soldier suicides? The wounded? Depleted uranium? Obama’s lies and warmongering? The cost of war? The list is endless, and I’ve said it all before. War is nothing new.

Imagine for a moment that you’re an Iraqi civilian. Someone who’s endured this hell for eight years.

Watch this short video:

Now think about listening to those sounds 1,402,528 times and you’ll have an idea of what life has been like for Iraqis since March 19, 2003. If this were happening in America, would the reaction be any different?

Since Obama’s taken office it seems the vast majority of the anti-war crowd has grown completely apathetic, turning a blind eye to this boring, old war. Or worse: adopting and advocating the same justifications once held by Bush-supporting Neo-Cons as to why we are still over there. It’s no fun to protest now that Bush is gone. It seems war is magically more acceptable if there’s a D next to your name instead of an R.

Party affiliation means nothing to the people still being blown up by American bombs. War is war is war. And I’ve had enough.

WAR IS A RACKET.
BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW.
