Don, this website is allowing users who only post in the "chit chat" section to openly cheer for iraqi troops. They are gloating and saying that U.S. forces will soon be killed in large numbers. The moderators are allowing this to happen. You are a sponser. You have a voice. Please say something to them about this. They aren't saying "against the war, for the troops". It isn't freedom of speech, they went way beyond that. During a war it is illegal to openly cheer the enemy. It is also a huge insult to your country that has allowed you to become a wealthy man.
Wow, this is rough. IMHO, we, as Americans, should argue our differences before and after an armed conflict...and during the conflict, we should keep one thing in mind...that we must "hang together" or "hang separately".... I really don't want this to turn into a purely political forum, but for whatever it's worth....I support our troops and our President at this time of crisis, and I want the Iragi people to come out of this in a better situation. And I say my prayers for a quick resolution. I haven't read the "chit chat" yet, but I will try to.... Don
thanks Don, thats all I can ask. No more political stuff in your journal from me. by the way, don't waste your time on the chit chat section, it may soon be eliminated and is full of fake aliases causing trouble.
Wow!! I can't tell you how much this really means to me....we have some common ground....(and, yes, I mean it...and not being a smart ass)....we need to support our people...... "Made my Day!"..... Don
Don, I grew up in a household of a mixed marriage. A liberal Democrat, and a conservative Republican. I naturally, became an independent. However, I learned it was possible to have strong disagreements with someone on issues, yet still support one and other. That is what our country and society need to do in a time of war. We need to support each other, and pray/hope for a quick resolution to the conflict. Now is not the time for second guessing, or saying what we "should" have done. Reminds me of Gregory Peck when he said to David Niven in 'The Guns of Navarone': "We are in it now, up to our necks!" We are committed. We must win, and we will win as quickly and humanely as possible. After the war, then we can re-open the discussions about foreign policy, national security, and what to do in the future based on what we have learned in the past. That I take issue with you on your methods of marketing and sales is not personal. I have told you that before. I routinely have disagreements on principle with people I count as friends over things they do in life. Unfortunately, most people don't understand that it is possible to be against what someone does, take issue with their ethical or moral position on a subject, yet support their overall success and happiness in life.
