A reason to fight
Another reason to die
Spreading a disease
More reasons to cry
A plan that will never work
To end more lives
Of soldiers who stand up
Many won't survive
Because of one man
We've lost so many men
Proven worth to live
It's all over CNN
Just watch our country crumble
At just one man's hands
He will destroy us all
Lead to follow his commands
Trying to fix the world
But never concerned about us
World peace and "democracy"
People should show disgust
But instead they support
And are completely blind
Every death is his fault
As he stands right behind
He's the one to meet his goal
Ruling the world one country at a time
Out to undermined his country
To go out with a bang at his prime

As you know, I agree with this poem almost totally except if we, the people, really objected, Bush would have to stop. We could stop him and we don't which makes all of us partly responsible. The Congress could end the war and if the people insisted, Congress would. If Bush lost enough support, even he might order a withdrawl of the troops.
The problem now is that since we invaded, we destroyed the government that Iraq once had. A new and stable government needs to be established, if not there might be wide spread civil war in Iraq.
Israel and Lebannon is another matter. If Israel invades Lebannon, this would be more democratic aggression. Not really what democracy is supposed to be about.
Most people are like us, I think, and want to see the fighting and the killing stop.
