More Aircraft carrier groups and combat brigades are being positioned to engage the Iranian military: U.S. troops quitely surge into Middle East. I am very concerned that history will repeat itself as two ruling classes slip slide their countries into war.

Should this happen the death toll will be staggering, and this time it won't be foreigners taking the vast majority of casualties. The Iranian military is much more capable of inflicting heavy losses to the U.S. Navy and any invading ground forces: Iran's missile assets may constrain US threat response.

Mass murder of the innocent is the greatest of evils. It is inexcusable, morally abhorrent and must be opposed by all people regardless of the popularity of the murderers.

The supreme murderer of our times is the American Empire, an Empire in all but name. All other evils are secondary to war, but its end would give we, the American people, greater liberty and wealth then any area of reform can.

I ask that those of you who are opposed to the American Empire and to its Wars join me.

Join this group in accomplishing the task of continuously calling for an end to this great evil.

Encourage, support and applaud all progress towards abolition of this murderous Empire.

Join to admonish and castigate all supporters and perpetrators of Empire and War.

Join to educate your fellow human beings as to the nature of War and Empire, the current events surrounding it and the way out.

Doing this will, over time, bring new people into opposition of murder, shift the discourse to our side and eventually create a climate in which the American Empire no longer has the legitimacy to sustain itself and continue murdering innocents abroad, taking our liberties at home and draining our country of its blood and wealth.

Join or Follow the Anti-War Abolitionists to direct our outrage to where it is needed most. I will invite those who comment or message me that they'd like to join.

During Bush's reign, I honestly believed that when the Democrats came to power, the U.S. Empire would end the war in Iraq and maybe even Afghanistan. I didn't consider myself very naive, I actually considered myself quite hardened to the reality of politics.

The last 3 years have stripped all or nearly all of my naivete pertaining to the American Ruling Class and their great instrument, the U.S. Government. But it didn't dispel my confusion, I could understand why leftist politicians would be supportive of Empire's perpetual wars once the left was in power. But I just couldn't wrap my head around why such a great number of the grassroots left, of those who excoriated Bush with such vigor for his mass murder, would make such an about-face on their support for such crimes as the War in Iraq and Muslims in general.

I have read an article that has helped me understand Why the Left Won't Stop the Wars

50,000 "Advisors" are remaining past the 2010 exit and there has been no mention of the 85,000 or so mercenaries still there. No mention that I've heard of the fate of the numerous mega-fortresses the Empire built in Iraq which will undoubtedly require thousands of soldiers garrisoned and aggressively defending the bases from the ire of the locals under perpetual foreign military occupation.

He hasn't killed enough people! The nobel peace prize has been awarded to such mass murdering luminaries as Woodrow Wilson and Henry Kissinger. These magnificent fellows have a mountain of skulls under them. Compared to them, Obama is a lightweight.
