Dear Mr President

Putting the song title as my post title....I was looking thru the youtube website, I found out this PINK's song called Dear Mr President. With Pink questioning the political facts and the legitimacy on the war raging right now.

I was moved by thr tune and the lyrics, especially when they were showing all the pictures of the war and people suffering from poverty. I was very moved by the entire music video. So I should Bush this question, what have you done for the past 7 years? How are you going to answer to all American parents whose sons are in either dead in combat or still living under malaise situation. What I mean by malaise is the uneasiness when encountering bullets and engaging in patrol and battle. Sending in 21500 troops isnt a new strategy but shifting to a more diplomatic approach is then called a refreshing strategy of Iraq. You have made a mistake in the first place to wage this war and it is time to tell us how are you going to fix this problem.

A precedent I can think of is the Vietnam War, when Lyndon Johnson sent 500,000 troops to fight in Vietnam, thought the manpower for this war is only 20% of the amount in Vietnam. The amount is still enormous. If the situation is staying status quo, more and more innocent servicemen will be lost. Is this the outcome you want, with no objectives achieved or " MISSION FAILED" and also massive amount of casaulties. This involves the whole nation, the whole nation is at stake, and you have left the whole country a big mess.

What have you done for the past 7 yrs?

Anyway, the song lyrics for DEAR MR PRESIDENT by Pink:

Pink - Dear Mr. President Lyrics(feat. Indigo Girls)

Dear Mr. President
Come take a walk with me
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly
What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep
What do you feel when you look in the mirror
Are you proud
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held highCan you even look me in the eye
And tell me why
Dear Mr. President
Were you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
How can you say
No child is left behind
We're not dumb and we're not blind
They're all sitting in your cells
While you pay the road to hell
What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
Let me tell you bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don't know nothing bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
Oh
How do you sleep at night
How do you walk with your head held high
Dear Mr. President
You'd never take a walk with me
Would you
