And I thought I'd be reading about basketball today....
Well, since I'm not, here's my 2 cents on the current topic:
I have a nephew in the 101st Airborne. . . and proud of it.
You can sit by your computers and see all the injustices in the world that you want and blow steam. In this country you can do that. This country isn't perfect, but it's a hell of a lot better than a lot of the options.
Pledge allegiance to Iraq and get on your computer over there and bad mouth that government.
First of all, as an Iraqi citizen, you won't own a computer. Secondly, if you bad mouth Saddam, you won't live long enough to say 'computer'.
Some of you need to put down your Timothy McVeigh manifestos and come up for a breath of fresh air.
Since a couple of you...I won't mention any names, like to preach history. Here's a little history for you - Adolf Hitler was a graphic artist who found that he had a calling. A motivator of people. He saw that the people of Germany needed a father figure. He felt that he himself could fill that role. That was 1933. He didn't have a great army. He didn't have a great airforce. He had an idea.
His idea involved the usurping of power. He murdered any opposition. He murdered innocent citizens of his own country. He embarked on world domination. That's when the good old US of A stepped in. That was 1941. It took him 8 years to go from an idea man to a world threat. 3 more years and the loss of millions of lives later and Hitler was a page in the history books. It's now 2003. A man, cut from the same cloth as Hitler, sits upon the world stage. He thinks that nobody cares if he kills a few Kurds. . . his own citizens. He thinks nobody cares if he develops the means to destroy the world. Well, That's where he is wrong. Dead wrong. The U.S. cares. And if more people take a stand against this tyrant, the sooner he becomes a page in the the history books. Maybe not even a page. Maybe a footnote.
God Bless America.
P.S. - Don't bother to respond to me, one way or the other. I don't need your support, nor do I care to read any more of the US bashing. I'm not returning to this page so I won't be reading it anyway.
BTW, Agent Orange is a defoliant used to do just that. Defoliate (knock the leaves off of) trees in the jungles of Viet Nam, so we could see the Viet Cong's hiding places.
Bye Bye!
The FIX IS ON!!!!!
