Four weeks ago, my brother was killed in Iraq. He was a patriot. He was talented, and he was a good person. He died defending a Halliburton convoy near Basra in southern Iraq. I have to ask myself: What did he die for? George Bush lied to the American public about WMD. Iraq didn't have them. Bush lied to the American public about a connection between 9/11 and Iraq. There isn't any. And Bush broke international law by invading a foreign country.

My brother wrote many letters home before he was killed. One thing that was very disturbing about those letters is that he always mentioned the toll that this war is taking on the Iraqi people.

I don't think Americans realize how many people have died over there. Americans are killing thousands of people. Why?

Please think of all the innocent people when you vote this November. Then ask yourself if you, or someone you love, should die for this war.

(My brothers and I grew up in L.A.)
