Flag: [ ] I would like each and every American citizen to resolve to face the destruction we have caused and find a better way to change the planet.


I would like every one of us to resolve to look into the heart of a family destroyed simply so the Bushies can play political football - and resolve that our country will do better than this.
I would like each of us to accept our own role in the decline of our reputation abroad by our own complicity - and resolve to demonstrate to the world that we are not the savages our leaders would have them believe.
I would like us all to resolve to be whole again - and make the world again whole as well.


I would like us all, simply, to resolve to be Americans again. By: Raven on January 01, 2007 at 03:27pm
