Letter from a housewife on the war...something to think about???

Written by a housewife from New Jersey and sounds like it! This is one ticked off lady.

"Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001?

Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan , across the Potomac from our nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania ?

Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?

And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was "desecrated" when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet?...Well, I don't. I don't care at all.

I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.

I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia .

I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat.

I'll care when the cowardly so-called "insurgents" in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques.

I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs.

I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights.

In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care.

When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a college-hazing incident, rest assured: I don't care.

When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank: I don't care.

When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed "special" food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being "mishandled," you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts: I don't care.

And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled "Koran" and other times "Quran." Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and-you guessed it- I don't care !!

If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to all your E-mail friends. Sooner or later, it'll get to the people responsible for this ridiculous behavior!

If you don't agree, then by all means hit the delete button. Should you choose the latter, then please don't complain when more atrocities committed by radical Muslims happen here in our great Country! And may I add:

"Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don't have that problem." -- Ronald Reagan

I have another quote that I would like to add AND.......I hope you forward all this.

"If we ever forget that we're One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under." Also by.. Ronald Reagan

One last thought for the day:

In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the Anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember England 's Prime Minister Tony Blair's words during a recent interview. When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America , he said: "A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in... And how many want out."

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
1. Jesus Christ
2. The American G. I.

One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON, AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET BOTH OF THEM.
AMEN!

Osama bin Laden isn't wanted by US authorities for the events of 9/11. The FBI says it has no evidence "materially" linking bin Laden to those events.

Seen it before, and still hate it. It's the whole "I don't care" attitude that I have a problem with.

Like this: "And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled "Koran" and other times "Quran." Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and-you guessed it- I don't care !!"

That just makes the author of this chain letter sound ignorant. And, actually, she probably is.


Here is another quote about jeesus and a soldier: "One died for your soul, the other for your freedom"


And, I asked this last time...Exactly how are my freedoms being protected in Iraq? Are the terrorists coming over here and taking away my freedom to assemble? My Freedom of Speech? Of course not. The soldiers are not protecting my freedoms, they are fighting a war of choice, that does not benefit them, and does not benefit me.

"If we ever forget that we're One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under." Also by.. Ronald Reagan

We are not a nation under "God" Show me where in the Constitution it states that? I can't ever seem to find it in there. laugh

Thank you Kevduf, I have been waiting for a voice of reason. And to you too Jan 1305, missed your post while I was logged out.

This may come straight back at me in a backlash but you really do need to stand aside and have your own opinions on this one.

It annoys me, as I am a proud American, for sure. But letters like this try to pigeonhole all of us into one opinion, and if we do not hold that opinion, we are somehow less patriotic. It's just an ignorant, silly chain letter, pandering to the basest of our instincts.

The author sounds like a very angry and frustrated woman. She could have probably made some very valid points had she calmed down a bit before submitting it.

Raw emotion can make smart people look really silly or stupid.

Kevduf,

You make some interesting and good points. Would love to catch you in one of those 9/11 and/or religeon (One Nation Under God) threads some day. Unfortunately, that will have to wait. My rich Uncle Sam is sending me back to that big waterless beach for another tanning session and I am going to have very limited time on CS over the next few days while I prep.

Be well all
