Stitch for Senate Helmet #70:
Knitted for Senator Pat Roberts

As chairman of the intelligence committee at the time the United States invaded Iraq, I believe that Senator Pat Roberts had a responsibility to the American public and the country of Iraq to get it right. If he is dedicated to sweeping reform and ratting out the problems in our nation's intelligence community then he should have been more diligent to find the difference between true intelligence information and pure propaganda by a corrupt administration. It is now clear that this war was and is only for the personal satisfaction of a few elites and it only serves to settle up some unfinished business that has nothing to do with protecting freedom. I knitted this helmet liner to show that not all americans believe that this is a just war and that some of us actually believe that it is wrong for our government to play a "missionary of democracy" to the rest of the world . I believe that one should always turn the other cheek.. Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. It is time for the United States to start to look at our "American Dream" and realize that not everyone in the world grows up wishing they could be us.
