======================
 TR> I recieved this at one of my e-mail addresses. It was
 TR> forwarded to me by someone in Fido who does not post in
 TR> this echo, therefore I do not mention that person's name.
 TR> Many others who post in Fido know who that person is, so it
 TR> isn't as though I'm not properly attributig it. But it sums
 TR> up exactly the way I feel about it perfectly, and its bound
 TR> to piss of `the usual suspects' in here. Gee.........thats
 TR> too bad!

 TR> Subject: Letter From One Angry Woman

 TR> Letter from one "Angry Woman"

 TR> I don't know who wrote it but they should have signed
 TR> it. Some powerful
 TR> words. This woman should run for president.

 TR> Written by a housewife from New Jersey and sounds like
 TR> it! This is one ticked off lady.

 It was written by a freelance, conservative, writer, Doug
 Patton.

  www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/foster.asp

 TR> "Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it

 No, not really.

 TR> or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to
 TR> our shores on September 11, 2001?

 Was it? Then why aren't we going after the people who started
 it?

 TR> Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans,
 TR> not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan ,
 TR> across the Potomac from our nation's capitol and in a field
 TR> in Pennsylvania ?

 Were not tens to hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, who had
 nothing to do with 9-11, killed because of the Bush invasion?

 TR> Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die
 TR> a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't
 TR> they?

 Did more American soldiers die fighting in a country that had
 nothing to do with 9-11 than civilians died in the 9-11 attack?

 TR> And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was
 TR> "desecrated" when an overworked American soldier kicked it
 TR> or got it wet?..Well, I don't. I don't care at all.

 You should. If you don't you have no right to complain about
 what Muslims do the the bible.

 TR> I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and
 TR> repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.

 Until then you will continue to cheer the deaths of innocent
 people who had nothing to do with 9-11.

 TR> I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the
 TR> Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere
 TR> possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia ..

 Shouldn't you worry just as much about the fanatics in Christian
 countries who want to discriminate against Muslims as much as
 any fanatical Muslims want to discriminate against Christians?

 TR> I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry
 TR> for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed
 TR> through his gurgling slashed throat.

 When will the Blackwater guards tell the world they are sorry
 they killed those innocent Iraqis?

 TR> I'll care when the cowardly so-called "insurgents" in Iraq
 TR> come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their
 TR> own religion by hiding in mosques.

 Like the blackwater guards shoot them from helicopters?

 TR> I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up
 TR> in search of nirvana care about the innocent children
 TR> within range of their suicide bombs.

 And when they care about the children killed by American bombs?

 TR> I'll care when the American media stops pretending that
 TR> their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from
 TR> international law instead of the United States
 TR> Constitution's Bill of Rights.

 Funny, no conservative has ever before told me our first
 amendment rights were granted us by the constitution. They
 always say they are inherent rights that are just recognized by
 the constitution.

 TR> In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine
 TR> roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know
 TR> this: I don't care.

 In the meantime, I will remember the military forbids torture.
 It's the civilian contractors, and Bush and Rumsfeld, who
 believe in torture.

 TR> When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners
 TR> who have been humiliated in what amounts to a
 TR> college-hazing incident, rest assured: I don't care.

 When that act inspires others to attack and kill Americans you
 won't care either will you?

 TR> When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he
 TR> is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you
 TR> can take it to the bank: I don't care.

 Funny, the Marine who killed him did care. Of course, that
 Marine is a real man.

 TR> When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a
 TR> prayer mat, and fed "special" food that is paid for by my
 TR> tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being
 TR> "mishandled," you can absolutely believe in your heart of
 TR> hearts: I don't care.

 Then you have no standing to complain about how the Saudis treat
 our bible.

 TR> And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's
 TR> spelled "Koran" and other times "Quran." Well, Jimmy Crack
 TR> Corn and-you guessed it-I don't care !!

 Neither do I.

 TR> If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to all your
 TR> E-mail friends. Sooner or later, it'll get to the people
 TR> responsible for this ridiculous behavior!

 If you agree with this viewpoint you are as pathological as the
 author.

 TR> If you don't agree, then by all means hit the delete
 TR> button. Should you choose the latter, then please don't
 TR> complain when more atrocities committed by radical Muslims
 TR> happen here in our great Country! And may I add:

 When the author shows he is going to fight the radical
 Christian/Muslim/whatever terrorists I'll be interested in that.

 TR> "Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they
 TR> made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don't have
 TR> that problem" -- Ronald Reagan

 When I was canvasing in Toledo for Kerry in 2004, the first
 house we stopped at was the home of a Marine who had been
 discharged shortly before the Marine Unit in Beirut was blown
 up. That was his unit. We spent about 20 minutes at that one
 house with him talking about how much he hated Reagan as a
 result of that. He blamed Reagan for the deaths of his buddies.

 TR> One last thought for the day:

 TR> In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the
 TR> Anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember
 TR> England's Prime Minister Tony Blair's words during a recent
 TR> interview. When asked by one of his Parliament members why
 TR> he believes so much in America, he said: "A simple way to
 TR> take measure of a country is to look at how many want in..
 TR> And how many want out."

  Another way is how many the ruling party is willing to let in
  to take the jobs of the working class.

 TR> Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for
 TR> you:

 TR> 1. Jesus Christ

 TR> 2. The American G. I.

 TR> One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

  I wonder which category the author fit in.
