MODS please do not move this, this thread is where it needs to be!!


Written by a housewife in New Brunswick , to her local newspaper.
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 and have continually threatened to do so since?

Were people from all over the world, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac from the 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 few Taliban were claiming to be tortured by a justice system of the nation they come from and are fighting against in a brutal insurgency.

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 belief of which is a crime punishable by beheading in Afghanistan .

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 Afghanistan come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques.

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

I'll care when the Canadian media stops pretending that their freedom of speech on stories is more important than the lives of the soldiers on the ground or their families waiting at home to hear about them when something happens.

In the meantime, when I hear a story about a CANADIAN soldier roughing up an Insurgent terrorist to obtain information, know this: 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 you guessed it, I DON'T CARE!!


And may I add: 'Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Soldiers don't have that problem.'

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

One last thought for the day:

Only five defining forces have ever offered to die for you:

1. Jesus Christ
2. The Canadian Soldier.
3. The British Soldier.
4. The US Soldier, and
5. The Australian Soldier

One died for your soul, the other 4 for your freedom.

YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON, AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET ALL OF THEM.

To the housewife in New Brunswick.Not PLK1966.

I could post up a million articles showing you how torturous the US army are. Murder is murder no matter what way you look at it. The Americans have murdered too in barbaric ways. There is evil all over the world. Yes that includes American hearts, Irish hearts and all hearts everywhere!!

The five defining life forces that offered to die for me. We will excuse Jesus from this. The british murdered my fellow countrymen.
All soldiers who kill are murderers but cower in behind the righteousness of a flag!!

War breeds hatred, hatred breeds murder, murder breeds murder.

But above all, I DON'T CARE what way you are feeling much the same way you dont care about what I feel!!

Atari,
You believe soldiers are murderers hiding behind a flag? Let me ask you this...Do you enjoy your freedom? I think we should all be extremely grateful to our soldiers past and present for the freedoms we have. JMHO

I care about all ppl myself. And I think war is a bad thing like all should. But when someone comes against you you must do something and you must win. Our enemies have no heart so we can't go out of our way to show them one. We should be a good ppl but not one that can't handle what we are up against.

That's what I was thinking.

ONE REMINDER

Keep this civil or it will be locked down & disappear.

No name calling, MANNERS must be used.
This is a touchy subject for most people.

Mod Don

Edit:

Just deleted several post for name calling.
Lf it breaks a rule, don't copy it.
Your comment will go with the rest.

It is time to stop the killing,all killing! I don't care for whatever reason or in whose name the killing is done in, it is time for all mankind to try and live together ( if not as one) in harmony alongside each other enjoying God's beautiful creation............... The Earth on which we live.

It does no good to voice an opinion. That after all is what starts wars in the first place. Voices of hatred and ppl who can't be happy letting other think what they want.

What is culture? By whose standards is "culture" judged, who put the culture police in charge of this thing called culture? To the Amerindian in the deepest rain forest, his wearing of a string of leaves may be the height of culture, to the African Pygmies, the wearing of a neck bracelet my be the height of culture, so to the poster who deemed others as "uncultured" I say Live and let live

I feel everyone is entitled to believe what they want to believe as long as they do not attempt to physically force others to believe it, or use their beliefs as a scapegoat to harm self proclaimed enemies in the name of............. righteousness????

Its full of quite a few inaccuracies and ommissions too.
Why would anyone send this out or post it unless they meant to mislead people.

Perhaps they are not aware of the inaccuracies or propaganda nature of it, or,
Perhaps they are and just dont care.
