I suppse you prefer seeing the younger generation take the bullets for you. <BR/><BR/>Since you obviously delete comments that don't agree with you (thus to make yourself seem more like "everyone agrees with the old hick man"), hope you had fun with this; you can delete it but shall never forget the words.Kileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05798217022980718278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7734846.post-1125292657810017852005-08-29T00:17:00.000-05:002005-08-29T00:17:00.000-05:00Iraq wasn't a neutral country.

Once again, we beat around short-term musings without seeing the big picture. One part of that big picture is what happened today when Iraq drafted a Constitution. They move forward against great odds and we continue to debate things that have long ceased to be relevant. I agree with the writer on this one.T.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10275996524128634117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7734846.post-1125279619220301772005-08-28T20:40:00.000-05:002005-08-28T20:40:00.000-05:00I am of the opinion that we should not be supporti...I am of the opinion that we should not be supporting the USA/UK armies in Iraq as they were the invaders based on a <A HREF="http://opinionated.blogsome.com/2005/08/25/opinionated-voice-says-god-damn-america/" REL="nofollow">lies</A>.

Too many voters allow others to decide who their who will get their vote by blindly following party lines.<BR/><BR/>The questions I have for those who refer to the terrorist bacteria in Iraq as "Freedom Fighters" are... How much have your "Freedom Fighters" done for the reconstruction of Iraq (other than just put bombs near hospitals, schools and police stations)? and, If we 'Bring the Troops Home, NOW!' as you would like us to do, what are we leaving behind for the Iraqi people to face alone?<BR/><BR/>Like you, I am offended. I am offended by the inhuman attitude of those, like Cindy Sheehan, who have taken the side of those who want nothing more than to kill Coalition servicemembers.<BR/><BR/>Even when I was a career Army (and Army National Guard) NCO, I maintained that it is just as Constitutional to protest any war as to fight in it. If those who are against this war feel the need to protest, I would kill or die to defend their right to do so. However, if you are against the war, that means you are against all sides. If you take the side of the enemy of the United States, you are no longer a war protestor, you are a participant in their war effort.<BR/><BR/>~~~<BR/><BR/>Great article!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7734846.post-1125195388986562162005-08-27T21:16:00.000-05:002005-08-27T21:16:00.000-05:00You’re a great American Mr. Dillon.Thanks for the ...You’re a great American Mr. Dillon.<BR/>Thanks for the wonderful- heartfelt reads.<BR/>AubreyJ……..AubreyJ.........https://www.blogger.com/profile/18177790443279300985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7734846.post-1125194818778842462005-08-27T21:06:00.000-05:002005-08-27T21:06:00.000-05:00ScotThanks!
