War...

I drive back from my brothers on Saturday. I drive down Cicero Ave. I cruise thru the nice areas. You know six corners, the used car lots, and other establishments. All of a sudden, it seems you have stepped into the twilight zone. There are borded up houses. Some are burnt out. You can never miss the liquor stores. The restaurants with gated bar fences. Empty lots and a million churches. This place sure seems war torn. We do not have to go to Irak. There are economic war torn communities right here in the heart of the city. Pull the troops from Irak and deploy them here to rebuild our communities first. Stop spending on a war that has no cause. The only cause to secure oil for those that already have the riches. Instead ask the question of who needs the riches or at least a little piece of the pie.
