Two Arabs boarded a flight out of London.
One took a window seat and the other sat next to him in the middle
seat.
Just before takeoff, a Marine sat down in the aisle seat.
After takeoff, the Marine kicked his shoes off, wiggled his toes and was just
settling in when the Arab in the window seat said, "I need to get up
and
get a coke."
"Don't get up," said the Marine, "I'm in the aisle seat, I'll get it
for
you."
As soon as he left, one of the Arabs picked up the Marines shoe and
spat
in it. When the Marine returned with the coke, the other Arab said,
"That looks good, I'd really like one, too."
Again, the Marine obligingly went to fetch it.
While he was gone the other Arab picked up the Marine's other shoe and
spat in it. When the Marine returned, they all sat back and enjoyed the
flight. As the plane was landing, the Marine slipped his feet into his
shoes and knew immediately what had happened.
"Why does it have to be this way?" he asked. "How long must this go on?
This fighting between our nations?
This hatred?
This animosity?
This spitting in shoes and pissing in cokes?"
THE MARINES WILL ALWAYS WIN!!

Yes, I still support the decision to go into Iraq. I think that getting Saddam out of control of those people was a good thing to do, and the right thing to do.
People die in war and it sucks, but the people over there that are pulling these suicide bombings and blowing innocent people up are the very reason we are not leaving Iraq! We get out now, and we'll be sending the message that we'll run if they just keep acting like the homicidal maniacs that they are!
I'm not sure why people like you continue to ask if we war supporters are happy every-time a another suicide bomber blows someone up in Iraq. You're not going to guilt us into saying we think that the war is wrong. You don't have to agree with me about President Bush or the war, because you have every right to feel however you want, but I also have the same right. And if my military husband was sent over there tomorrow, I would still support this.

War is war, it's not pretty; but if it gets the job done, so be it. Oh, and the media is ALWAYS biased on what they report, so don't be so naive to believe everything you hear, b/c it'll only hurt you more. Innocent people die, yeah it's sad, but remember it's a WAR, and you can only do so much.

Some interesting answers, but soldiers almost always lose.

Who noted the US Military saying that? Michael Moore again, with his lies?
Yes we created many things during the Cold War, but nobody is placing any of the blame on the former Soviet Union either. The world was to be divided, and we had to have allies. We did not choose the leaders of those countries, but we supported the ones in place to stop the Communist Aggression (yes, even Saddam was aided-especially against Iran--or did you forget the 444 days?).
We do not choose violence, it chooses us. In order for me to fully believe that you believe violence can be ended, start with your own small piece of the world. Stop all violence and crime in your own town. Stop Drunk Drivers, Robberies, Rape, Torture, Child Abuse, Reckless Drivers....the list goes on. People have a desire to break the law. I'm sure you have INTENTIONALLY drove faster than the speed limit, crossed a street against a red light (even if nobody is there, it is still illegal)..something illegal yourself.
Wars are started when people develop power and use it to further their greed, hatred or beliefs. World War II was a result of Hitler hating Jews and being greedy. He spread throughout Europe amassing riches AND exterminating Jews at every turn. The War on Terrorism is a simple case of our survival. To compare it, we are Hitler's Jews, but we are fighting back. Al-Qaeda does not have borders, they are a fanatical, religious extremist group bent on the utter destruction and extermination of all Judeo-Christians in the world. They are attacking the strongest first (USA and Isreal) in order to exterminate anyone raised in that culture of infidelity, even American Muslims will be killed. After us, the world will fall without the great protector to save them. "There is but one God, and Allah is His name." This is not a war of politics, borders, money...it is a war to annihalte us, and to save our very existence. Osama even offered to pull all of Al-Qaeda ("insurgents") out of Iraq, "leave them to govern themselves, if we pulled all troops out of Iraq, then we could continue our battle in the streets and towns of America" to keep it going. Do you want to wake up to a Saber to YOUR throat because you are an American? The very rights and freedoms you have, that allow you to choose YOUR religion, or even a lack of it, are the reasons they want YOU dead. Hezbollah are religious terrorist from many countries, hiding in Lebanon, using Lebanon as a base to attack Isreal. Do not hate the Isrealis for killing innocent Lebanese, hate Hezbollah for forcing the Isrealis to chase them in to Lebanon and starting the fighting. Lebanon and Isreal actually get along.
We are not being violent, we are defending our right to exist. If you want to help their cause, end your own life now, and that will be one less for them to kill. If this upsets you, to know they want your entire family to die, your sisters and brothers beaten and killed, your mother's head sawed off, then do something to stop all of this. Raise awareness, enlist and defend, volunteer around your community, talk to people....do something, but don't listen to those that are sympathizers and getting rich from this war.

No one wants war. But sometimes it is necessary. Remember, freedom is not free.
