General Butler's Book, _WAR IS A RACKET_, believe me, Fellow Marines, Army, Air force, Coast Guard, Navy, etcetera, MS.

Caldicott-instead, FAR MORE has YOUR-YOUR Family's SAFETY and BEST Interests in Mind, and that of the Global COMMUNITY of HUMANITY, for it's high TIME that the U.S. MUST REJOIN the Family of nations, to wage PEACE(GW Bush's ALLEGED "Hero," Jesus, The Christ of History, WAS above all else, the Prince of PEACE!)
