"War ... Should Not Be Wantonly or Unnecessarily Entered Upon." - George Washington

In a radical departure from American tradition, the Bush administration and the United States Congress entered into a pre-emptive war in Iraq. As we learn more every day, this war was conceived years in advance. This plan was hatched and executed by people who have never fought in a war themselves.

At times like this it is important to look back in history and listen to our founding fathers. George Washington's words illustrate the folly of our current leaders. "The friends of humanity will deprecate war, wheresoever it may appear; and we have experienced enough of its evil in this country to know that it should not be wantonly or unnecessarily entered upon."
