resistance to military recuritment mena 2005-08-30 11:57 AM

Resistance to the war in Iraq is growing nationally. Polls indicate that 63% of Americans are opposed to the war. The “noble sacrifice" that GWB glorifies is none other than a primitive blood sacrifice of a nation's youth. The Pentagon uses unethical strategies, such as designing video games to lure teenagers into the military. It is the duty of citizens to resist this form of government deception. And we will.
