I mean guyz do u really care about whats really happening in the world? all i can watch in the news is that someone's pet got kidnapped or someone who can eat 50 burgers as a meal or about a heroic soldier coming back from WAR. do u think heroism is about killing innocent people just for the fun it and hunting them down as if they're animals. i know it all started as a a holy missionary to save the world, but come on its nothing like that. it's all about oil and money, and yeah what the heck why not kill few arabs on the way... but i just wonder, if Bush is such a a dumb murderer why do people still vote for him?

well i've heard enough. but there are some things i need to make clear. yes i've been to iraq and i've seen how it's like there. im not saying Saddam was an angel, i hate him and so do the iraqi's, but launching war until today is not the right answer. yes there are many innocent children and women getting killed every day. and no, women and girl used to go to school b4. u know the arab world is a world where people still live in tents and ride camels, civilization came from our land and we're proud of it. and as for those who called me a coward, well im not, i've defended my country again israeli's and we've managed to kick them out. so i know how it's like to live in war and fear. i dont have israeli's, i feel sorry for them because they are living in fear every day, but i believe that both sides should settle things in a peaceful ways. palestinians arent the ones who only do the terrorist attacks, so do the israeli's.

Let's try to answer this logically, and in order.
1. Spelling and punctuation count.
2. I care about what is happening in the world. I constantly watch the news (all different sources), and read newspapers (all different sources). The reason for the different sources is that I am able to get differing media views on what is happening. Perhaps you haven't noticed, but the media is biased. Perhaps you should change the channel and look for different news sources if all you get is kidnapping and burger eating.
3. No. Heroism is not about kiling innocent people just for the fun of it. Heroism is doing what's right, regardless of the consequences. Since you are, apparantly, not with the military on the ground in Iraq or Afganistan, and apparantly have never been in the military in general, you have no business discussing the manner in which our brave service members do their job.
4. If the war has become "about oil and money", why are gas prices as high as they are? Remember, gas comes from oil. Where is the money? We are spending BILLIONS of dollars in Iraq and Afganistan, but are not getting any money back. Hmmmm. Maybe the war is about helping innocent people be able to live free of fear, have a job, have electricity and potable water, and finally have a government that cares.
5. Why do people still vote for Bush? Because he gets the job done, and is honest about it. He told the US and the world what we were going to do, and did it. Unlike certain Democratic politicians who promised to bring terrorists to heel, and then did nothing except "not have sexual relations".

unless you have been to Iraq yourself or have talked to a soldier that has been there than how the hell do you know what is going on there? do you know our troops are building schools there? do you know they have given people water that have never had it before? do you know they now have a police force? do you know the kids there now smile and play? do you know the girls can now go to school and that women can now work if they choose to do so? My hubby was there for a year so please don't tell me what my hubby and our new family (the us military) has or hasn't done in Iraq. how is it about oil? we get most of our oil from Canada, the military has there own oil on reserve. As far as the money thing what money? Iraq has no money. The only person that has money is Saddam and when he was found there was only a few thousand dollars found.

Yes! Great things are happening in Iraq! I know the media only ever reports on death and terrorist attacks (and, yes, people are dying and the terrorists are still attacking), but if you talk to the troops, you’ll hear stories of pride, hope, encouragement.
-Pride in the job they’re doing over there. Our boys and girls are building schools and now the little girls who weren’t permitted to go to school before under Sadam’s reign can attend.
-Hope that the future of the Iraqi people will be one of success.
-Encouragement that they’re doing something good, not just for us here in America, but for the Iraqi people who never had a chance before.
You see, under Sadam and his sons reign, women and children were held in small rooms where they were raped daily. Men considered “dissidents” were abused, mutilated, tortured, even fed—alive!—into chipper-shredders! Life under such a brutal dictator was horrendous, to say the least!
But our military has delivered them from a fate worse than death, not to mention killing that murderous thug Al Zarqawi (sp?). Our military gave them the chance to set up their own democracy where women and men who had never had the chance to vote on anything before have now taken part in 3 elections! And they’ve written their own constitution and have elected people to their government, including the cabinet and the new Prime Minister. When you think of all the progress the Iraqi people have made in a mere five years, it’s truly amazing, especially considering it took decades upon decades for this country to finally come under a Constitutional government!
Another thing you’re not hearing from the media is that weapons of mass destruction (WMD) have been found! The Democrats and media have been touting up the “Bush lied; people died!” mantra for at least the past three years, claiming that there were no WMDs. Well, now they’ve been proven to be liars! Our boys over there have uncovered massive amounts of saran and mustard gas—extremely deadly, lethal gases—plus other weapons that haven’t been given the “declassified” moniker just yet.
Wonderful things have happened in Iraq. Incredible things are taking place as we speak. And amazing things will continue to happen in the future over there. Too bad the media’s not telling America the truth.
P.S.: Check out www.americasupportsyou.mil. You can send e-mails to the troops, find out other ways to support them, and you can also read e-mails sent from the troops to all of us here at home.

The murderers are the nutters strapping explosives to themselves walking into a crowd of people and pulling the pin.
The murderers are people who put on masks drag people from their homes (like Saddam's lawyer) and drop them full of bullets in the street.
The murderers are people who fly aircraft into buildings, bomb trains or buses. These are the people who need to be wiped of the board and other people will vote for someone who is willing to do this

thank you, do people realize that there will never be an end of countries that hate the US? Our president is fighting a losing battle. there are a lot of countries in the middle east who follow islam, are we going to keep going until they are all destroyed so that we can pump all the oil we want for next to nothing? What's next, do we wage war on Paris for cheap perfume? Give me a break.

Some people think murder can be justified if achieving the eventual goal is important enough. Not everyone has the same set of ethics as you. (These people are "smart" Republicans. They know they're evil, but they don't care. What the hell, they're rich.)
Others are simply ignorant, and have been brainwashed (much in the same way as you have been, I can see from your brainless z-filled rant) by their family, friends, schools etc.

Didn't know anyone I killed was innocent...
Didn't know I killed anyone... and I haven't returned yet.
We're not heros lady, we're just guys and girls doing a job that people like you will NEVER do. Largely because we believe in something bigger than ourselves and have the fortitude to stand to a committment.
Army meets its recruitment goals as well as retention goals... so take it for what its worth. SOS.
