Alice Lillie's Statement to President Bush

The official war death count among American servicepeople in Iraq is 2,000. President Bush said this sacrifice was "worth it."

EXCUSE ME, MR. PRESIDENT, BUT THAT IS NOT YOUR CALL.
WHETHER THE LOSS OF A LIFE FOR THIS WAR IS WORTH IT CAN ONLY BE DETERMINED BY THE OWNER OF THAT LIFE, THE PERSON WHO DIED.

Each of those 2,000 was a human being. An individual.
He or she had hopes, dreams, a family ... a LIFE!
Just like you.
We do not honor these individuals by sending more to their deaths.

WE MUST END THIS WAR RIGHT NOW.

IT WAS A GRAVE MISTAKE TO ELECT YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE AND THEN A WORSE ONE TO ALLOW YOU TO PROSECUTE THIS ILLEGAL AND IMMORAL WAR.
