Driving kills Amercan soldiers.

Every time we press down on the accelerator of our car, we are pressing down on the neck of an American soldier. Press a little harder and the life is being pushed out of that soldier. By the time we reach our destination the soldier is dead. We all know that oil is the reason we are fighting in Iraq. Whether you think it is a diabolical plot by Bush or realistic world politics to maintain our energy supply, we all know that without oil we would not care about Iraq or about any middle east countries. But do we give a second thought to not only using oil but wasting oil? We know that speeding wastes gasoline but we speed. We speed even when it does no good, like speeding to a red light. Each Saturday afternoon anti war protesters gather at Main Street where I live and hold up signs encouraging drivers to honk if they are against the war. I am guessing that the protesters drive to get there. All involved are killing American soldiers and the protesters are blaming Bush. To whom do Bush's oil company friends sell their oil and gasoline? You want to stop the war? Stop driving.
