I oppose this illegal war.

Illegal by whose interpretation?

I oppose the pain and suffering it will bring.

As opposed to the pain & suffering that's been going on in Iraq for the past 12-30 years? You left it a bit late to protest...

I oppose the high costs and higher taxes that will result from this war.
I oppose the greed that is the basis of the war.

Y'know, these two sentences just don't look good together...

I oppose the re-building of a war-torn state, when we can't even take care of our own.
I oppose Bush's plan for an Iraq over-haul including the transformation of educational, healthcare and banking systems.All funded by US taxpayers and administered by private US contractors $100 million to ensure Iraq's 25,000 schools have needed supplies while our schools are lacking in adaquate funding, adequate,text-books and teachers.
I oppose the fact that more than a million poor Americans are about to lose their access to publicly funded medical care and Bush is in the market for a corporate contractor to over-see $100 million upgrade in Iraq's hospitals and clinics.
I oppose the fact that Bush plays with our economy while Baghdad burns.
