This message was sent to me. I think it summons up the way a lot of us feel.

Feel free to comment.
********************************************************************

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.

This is very true and I think we all tend to take some things for granted from time to time. Nice reminder! wine

Carefull...

Posting anything good about Tony Blair, or GW Bush has a tendency to bring out the pack.

Quite a few people have strongly held opinions about both of them and do not hesitate to attack any one with a different view.

I feel that this statement and some others that Mr. Blair made in the last several years will be quoted in history books the same way that Churchill is quoted now.

Only history will tell if he was right in his actions.

The tragedy is that while US soldiers may have been willing to fight for freedom even for others, various administrations and governments have detoured these efforts to less nobel ends. The American people are like most others; respectful of and helpful to others. The policies of America has not reflected that spirit. The cause and intentions of the Revolution have been betrayed.

Jesus Christ died for all of us, no matter what race, colour or so called religion.

Jesus Christ did not die invading another country.

Although it is a quote from Tony Blair, the quote IS NOT ABOUT Tony Blair... those sentiments are very well expressed, regardless of everything else. American G. I.'s are outthere risking it for you and me, and my kids, and the kids to come. I am not political at all and the only way I get to follow the news is because it is my job...

Yes of course the American soldier, sailor, marine and air force, they all risk their lives. Many return as "injured" but the extent of their injuries isn't really talked about often enough.

Some are alive but burned beyond recognition, missing arms, legs, ears, their lives are ruined and in this war in Iraq I ask FOR WHO? Who are they dying for in this war?

Please guys, the thread is a positive thread... a beautiful thought about really brave men and women, about a really great country.

They are dying, not denying that fact. Bravely too. For whom? Ask your congressman. Who asked them to do it? Duty.

It is a great country of great and brave people...

PINK (f/ Indigo Girls) LYRICS

Dear Mr. President




Dear Mr. President
Come take a walk with me
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly

What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep
What do you feel when you look in the mirror
Are you proud

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why

Dear Mr. President
Were you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
How can you say
No child is left behind
We're not dumb and we're not blind
They're all sitting in your cells
While you pay the road to hell

What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye

Let me tell you bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don't know nothing bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
Oh

How do you sleep at night
How do you walk with your head held high
Dear Mr. President
You'd never take a walk with me
Would you

Tony Blair is grabbing at straws to save some dignity for making such a HUGE mistake to wag his little tail and follow Bush cheering and Cheney devil and the great wise one Blair professor didn't even see it coming. Atleast the British people are smart enough to see through the deceptions as were most of the world. They knew Tony was a little lap dog. If they (Iraqis') had only laid down their guns and let America run their country and their resources...Tony wouldnt' be resigning. There is no other excuses. Jesus didn't die for oil and neither should American GI soldiers have to. Iraq was not a threat to the US.
