this is great and it was taken from this article:
http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/09/...ech/index.html
" 'We believe this is a war of good and evil and we must win ... even if it cost the life of our own son. Freedom is not free,' " Bush said.
** from the parents of a solider in iraq**
with that being said, and our govt not realizing that you cannot for a democratic state in an area of religious and dictatorship unrest (it's been that way for centuries and will continue that way until the end of time), what makes this fight - the one that our troops are fighting for and dying for - any different than the extremists who are fighting and dying for the almighty JIHAD?
freedom has never been free and i agree with that. BUT, shouldn't our fight be with those who actually attacked us? shouldn't we be ending the lives of those that killed 3k americans on our soil for no logical reason? maybe i shouldn't be thinking common sense here.
