One point of view of the war on terror!

United States

Here is a real woman who should run for president of the United States! 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? 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 and 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 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 don't agree with this don't complain when more atrocities committed by radical Muslims wherever you happen to be! And may I add: "Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the United States Marines don't have that problem." -- Ronald Reagan I have another quote that I would like to add: "If we ever forget that we Americans are One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under." Also by. Ronald Reagan In case we Americans 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 four defining forces have ever offered to die for you: 1. Jesus Christ 2. The American G. I. 3. The British Soldier and 4. The Canadian Soldier One died for your soul, the other 3 for your freedom. All too many seem to forget these truths. If you agree with this viewpoint, or not please comment. I am an American and I agree with this 100 percent.

I'm trying to figure out how to word this without offending anyone, but I'm finding it incredibly difficult. Her 'don't care' attitude aside, her article comes off as closed minded, ignorant and just plain wrong. She doesn't care that innocent people are being murdered in this rampage? What did the children being slaughtered in this war have to do with September 11th? I can understand her anger and even indifference in regards to terrorists, but this war isn't confined to them anymore. I'm tired of people dying for an oil war. She seems to not care that people are dying simply because they aren't Americans. Innocent people are still innocent people, regardless of location. This war has taken many lives of people that have nothing to do with terrorism, and she needs to remember that and START caring.
