You're lost mdeneen...and I'll pray a Christian prayer for you tonight. I truly wonder if you have a life outside of posting war-monger, the Bush administration has hi-jacked our country and is sending 200,000 of our trained killers to assassinate innocent Arabs, messages...on Klipsch.com no less.
Are we (sorry for the generalization) saying the Saddam regime is just like Hitler...no. However, in many ways, he reflects the exact same pure lack of respect to human life that Hitler did. Airpower in Iraq you ask? No, I'll give you that. There is no threat from Saddam's air force. Huge army of people that could wage serious havoc on America? No, again I'll give you that. HOWEVER , he has a complete disregard for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I know...now you'll take that comment and drill it into the ground as you did the "rosiness" comment made by paulparrot. Saddam has the 'weapons of mass destruction' and has used them on his own INNOCENT people. As we saw on 9/11, and post for that matter, there are many ways to deliver havoc...Saddam has the weapons and the regime to deliver them.
Please, by all means, continue to live your life in the sheltered walls of your ill-advised home and shout out anti-war cries from your keyboard...while the rest of us support out Nation while attempting to oust a very sick, powerful, Hitler-like personality.
You say "I don't want any of your sons and daughters to get hurt or damaged. And the best way I know how to prevent that is to NOT PUT THEM IN THAT CIRCUMSTANCE."...
Okay, let's sit on our duffs...on the 76th floor...and let a plane crash into the building and f'ing take our lives away. That's much less painful than taking a bullet for freedom. At least our troops on the front line are aware and prepared for the danger they face while attempting to liberate a 10,000+ human murderer.
You got it mdeneen, we should only pay attention to the 50 states and let everyone else worry about themselves. I guess we would save a lot of money that way. But wait...then what would you do? Work for a living? What ever would you do with your precious time? Speaking of that, I've wasted enough of mine on a very weak American.
God bless to all who have served and those who support the future and our (worldwide) well being. And, may God find the rest, and bless them too. Even you mdeneen.
