It has been one month, one week, and 4 days since I sat in a ditch in Crawford, Texas. My request was simple: I wanted to speak to the man who has sent over a million of our young people to fight, kill, and die in a country that was absolutely no threat to the United States of America. I wanted to ask him: “What is the Noble Cause that you keep talking about?”
Well, we all know now that George Bush never came down the road to talk to me. Thank God! Many people have been saying that I am the “spark,” “catalyst,” “face” of the anti-war movement, etc. I beg to differ. George Bush and his arrogant advisers are the spark that lit the prairie fire of peace activism that has swept over America and the entire world. If he had met with me that fateful day in August, it would not have been good for him (because I knew he was going to lie and I would have advertised that fact), but it would have had less of an impact on the peace movement if he had.

Do the lives of innocent people lost only matter to you when they are American lives? Are you a Christian? If yes then you should be concerned about the number of lives lost in Iraq before Mr. Bush courageously did something about it. Also now that the old government is gone there is an opportunity that has never been availiable to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the people of Iraq. I am an international missionary and I know people and stories from Iraq that the mass media will never publish because of their political agenda. Just a concerned citizen who wants people to be well informed.
