Osama bin Laden's Truce Offer: Iraq War vs. Korean War

Harry Truman dropped 2 Nuclear bombs on Japan. But he chose to negotiate an end to the Korean War. Osama bin Laden has offered a truce in Iraq and Afghanistan. Why not take him up on it?

I doubt that Bush will accept. He is owned by 3 powerful lobbies. The evangelicals, Zionists and Neocons. The evangelicals see the Middle East as the place for the second coming of Christ in the "end-times" and a place to convert Muslims. The Zionists just want to hang on to their illegal occupation of historic Palestine. The Neocons make money from war-win, lose or draw.

But people who want an end to this war should contact the White House, Congress, write opinion pieces and call in talk- shows to show support for a dialogue with the other side. The war in Iraq is built on lies. Let's get out. Negotiation is better than war. Isn't that one of democracys advantage. Well let's negotiate.
