I am so sick of war. I just simply don't understand. The thought of war, and nuclear weapons makes me throw up in my mouth,im not kidding. There are over 30,000 nuclear weapons in the world today. 17% of American children live in poverty. Schools are using outdated textbooks, and millions of Americans are without even health insurance.We have choices. For what the US has spent so far on the War in Iraq,we could have built 3,317,543 additional housing units for low-income people, or hired 6,385,283 additional public school teachers for one year, or provided 17,861,650 students four-year scholarships at public universities (according to the National Priorities Project). We believe that these are priorities that should come before war. What about the people in Sudan? The thousands of children who are thrown into war, or shall i say forced into it. We have a stockpile of over 10,000 nuclear warheads. 10,000! With the power we have in the world, we need to set a message of peace not war. Its so sad to see people dieing, that don't have to die. Please God, help us now.
