Many Americans Don't Realize Iraq War Is Illegal

 Even though a CNN-Opinion Research Corp. poll last June found 54% of Americans do not believe the war is "morally justified" they appear content to allow Bush-Cheney to serve out their term of office.

 Is that because 4 million of us haven't been forced out of our homes, and another million or so killed and wounded and two million forced to escape abroad?

 Is that because the $1 trillion the war is costing will be passed to our children to pay by the profligate in the White House?

 Is it because our electricity and water supplies haven't been reduced to a trickle, our hospitals aren't busting at the seams with wounded, and our streets too dangerous to walk and our unemployment hasn't hit 50%? 

So far, apart from 3,800 soldiers needlessly killed and 30,000 maimed, the stiffest penalty Americans are paying for Iraq is the gas price spike to $3 a gallon.

 Why is it, the more oil Bush gets his hands on, the higher the price? Maybe Americans would run Bush out of office if the Geneva Conventions made price-gouging by his oil company buddies illegal.                                    #
