From Jitspoe:
We should pull the soldiers out of Iraq and send them to the moon instead, since, you know, we've never been there before, and they're obviously doing no good in Iraq.
ROTFLMAO!!!!! Jitspoe, Like Harland Williams in "Rocketman", He Farted!
From DirtyTaco:
Man i feel sorry for this maxpower kid. Probably like 14 years old and completely disengaged with reality. Bet his parents have been indoctrinating him since day 1. Reminds me of those kids in that evangelical jesus movie. Here's an example of the next generation of kids that will never think for themselves. It's disgusting, really.
DT I feel sorry for those like you who think they know it all. It seems like the majority of topics that allow a person to voice their opinion are shattered by your response which brings nothing to the table other than insults. You're a very intelligent person and a d-amned good writer... Why in the heck do you resort to asinine personal attacks. Try offering something constructive to the discussion, even if your opinion might be perceived as wrong or different.
From Tinman:
There's no honor, nor respect, involved in going out of your way (overseas) to kill Muslim extremists for their beliefs. The Iraqi insurgents deserve more respect than those going out there to fight them and try to conquer their culture/beliefs.
Tinman I wonder if the only TV station you have is Al-Jazeer. Where are you from??? That is absolutely NOT the reason our soldiers are over there and that is NOT what they are doing... Not even way far left congressmen are making foolish statements like that.
Whose freedom are they fighting for? Ours as well as Iraqis who were under Sadaam's murderous rein. Are we forcing a democracy upon the Iraqi people? Well, over a million Iraqi people voted so some seem to like the idea of freedom and democracy. Who are our soldiers protecting and who are they protecting us from? They are protecting US and many of our allies from terrorists like those of 9/11 and so many others. Terrorists who have considered people of all free countries as the infidels and have been bred to hate and kill you in the name of Allah with the belief that these are the things that will get them into heaven. This is the way it has been long before we ever went to Iraq.
Although, I think we're in a no win situation over there and the Bush administration has made America look pretty stupid with the way they went about the war in the beginning, one shouldn't forget the good things that we've accomplished in Iraq and the sacrifices that have been made to achieve those goals while in this war against terror.
I don't personally agree with the "world police approach" and while very poorly executed, staging the war over there has kept the terrorist from anymore 9/11 type attacks on our soil. Sadly though, I think this has only post poned those types of attacks because I don't see a possible way for us to win in Iraq and I don't believe we can afford to fund this war for too much longer.
Regardless, most of our soldiers are Skater's and DT's age and they joined the service to serve their country. I find it sad that while most of us have our feet propped up at the end of a long day stuffin our guts with a hot home cooked meal, they are being killed from roadside bombs or whatever while fighting for something they obviously believe is for the common good of the American people and the Iraqi people..
Those over 100,000 young men and women aren't entitled to their opinions. Anyone that has been in the service knows once you join the service, you belong to the government and follow the orders of your commander in chief and your superiors. To insult these soldiers is to insult America in my opinion and that makes my skin crawl.
There are a great many differing and controversial opinions on this subject. Way too many for us to weed through it all and come to any kind of an agreement. We have the News channels, the Newspaper and The Internet as resources for our differing opinions.
What we need all the way around is to stop the ridiculous blame game and insults because that clearly solves NOTHING. What we need, if at all possible, are viable plans to solve all the problems in our country and abroad.
It would seem that Republicans and Democrats have forgotten "Of the People, By the People, For the People" They're too busy fighting amongst themselves to do us any good.
Inevitably, America will be her own undoing...
We live in some really messed up times and all this does is gimme a headache...
Let's call this one done! LOL
