Iraq Invasion 19 March 2003 - An Arrogance Revisited..... Poem by James B. Earley

The Iraq War, another poignant reminder of the morbid capabilities we muster. Its legacy; tens of thousands U S Military dead or wounded (God only knows the depth of civilian casualties) , Middle Eastern hatred toward all things American, and monetary debt beyond comprehension.

Viewing ourselves through the mirror of capricious arrogance, we see reflecting, the decadent hypocrites we've allowed this Nation to become. Democrats blaming Republicans, Republicans finger-pointing Democrats. Fact is, we've all sat on our complicit asses, passively watching bullshit unfold.

Our current state of affairs didn't just happen unassisted, we as a People effectively caused its existence through collective acts of moral and fiscal abdication.
