When is enough going to be enough? How many more have to die before someone in power sees that the guy who is?

Question

responsible is still out there free. I lost my brother in 9/11. His sons joined the army out of respect for him, so that his death wouldn't go unavenged. They believed in the what the admistration said and even stayed true after it was brought to light that this same admisnistration lied to them. 8 months ago I lost one of my nephews, 31 hours ago I lost the other one. There will be no one now to keep our family bloodline going and for the first time even I am asking how much more does this country and the people in it have to lose? My brothers kids were good ones, full of promise. One in med school and the other in law school. So, tell me if this war is the right thing how come we only see more death and tragedy. Sadam was brought down long ago has that put a dent in the killing? And when will the man who took my brother's life be brought down? When do we spend more time on finding him? Maybe someone out there can help me see what my nephews died believing in, cause I just don't...

Answer 1

First of all, my heart goes out to you, I am so very very sorry for your losses.

I take a few minutes sometimes during my lunchbreak to answer some questions because I feel like maybe I will really be able to help someone.

My husband and I are both military veterans, he is retired from the Marine Corps, and I spent my career in the Air Force and received a disability discharge after 18 years of service. My heart always goes out to military men and women and their families.

I can't take away your pain, nor can I provide you with answers you are looking for. I can only pray that you will find peace so that you will not be angry. I believe that only the Lord will be able to provide us all with the answers to the questions you ask. Don't let these sad events keep you down. You believe in your heart that your nephews did the right thing for the reasons they had. Whether we agree with this war and the way it is being conducted does not take away from the hearts of those men and women who serve in the branches of our military. It is tragic that you lost your brother and then lost your nephews. However, those two men really died to protecting the honor of their father. That is what was truly in their heart. It doesn't matter whether the war is right or wrong, they defended their dad and his memory and honor. They are honorable men for doing that.

I will keep you and your family in my prayers and pray that God will give you comfort and peace. God Bless.

Answer 2

I am sorry for your loss. I have also lost someone in this war.
What we all have to keep in mind and what you have stated, is that they believed in what they were and are doing. Even after it comes to light, that we were lead to believe something that turned out not to be true, these brave men and women still believe in what they are doing.
That for me is enough. If they can get up everyday and do the job that they are doing over there then I can tell you that they still believe in what they are doing and we, I, and you can believe in it too.
The question we should ask is how much are we willing to lose for the beliefs of the people we are now fighting there. If we continue to harbor the ill feelings of how we got there then we will never be able to move forward. Because regardless of how we got there, we are there now and it's a totally different war now. If we give up you can forget asking about what to believe in, cause if they win you'll be told.
What confuses me is that some people can find justification for the US getting involved in other world conflict or issues, but not this one. So, when is it okay to send brave warriors in to battle for what are believed to be noble causes? And for those of you who will suggest war is never the answer one question, does a bully back off when you ask or does the bully go ahead and beat you down?
The man responsible for your Brothers death will be brought to justice

Answer 3

I checked out your profile and past questions. You're one of those people who needs constant attention through any possible means. You state that there's no one to carry one the family blood line, but you have a question saying you're dying of terminal (whatever the hell that is) and need ideas so your kid will know who you are, there's your blood line. You've been diagnosed 4 times with terminal cancer and managed to make it every time. Most people who are diagnosed once are lucky to make it. If it comes back, they usually pass away because the chemotherapy no longer works, the cancer is too aggresive. BTW, it's called malignant or benign. I'm not a regular at hospitals, but the last time I checked, you couldn't post idtiotic questions on Yahoo while a nurse was stabbing your veins for chemotherapy. You've had cancer 4 times, bashed your head so badly that the pain was 100 on a scale of 1 to 10 (your words), had a herniated disc in your back, have an abusive husband you had to run away from, he cut you off from all your family and friends except for 1, lost your brother to 9/11, and lost both of your nephews in a span of less than 2 days. Good god woman, it's a storyline taken straight out of a freakin soap opera. If your life was as tragic as you make it out to be, all your questions wouldn't be based on celebrity lives. Your questions would be a little bit deeper than the shallow ones you posted. Look past your own shallow existence of reality tv, tv guide, and entertainment tonight and realize that there's a bigger world outside of your couch. If your nephews ever existed, they died for a good cause. They died for something they believed in, American freedom and in the honorable memory of their father. Maybe you should take a page out of their book and think about someone besides yourself for a change

Answer 4

Access and read the link below. It is very informative and contains intelligence gatherings not shared in the mass media. There are definitely ties between radical Muslim terrorism and Iraq. Many, obviously like your nephews, understood this and volunteered to make the difficult sacrifice. We are in their debt for their courage and heroism. There is a law in the Uniformed Code of Military Justice that protects family lines from being totally wiped out. If 2 brothers serve in the Armed Forces and one is already in a combat zone, the other can apply for and granted a hardship to prevent him from going and possibly forfeiting the family lines if both are killed. Your nephews obviously waived this right, possibly because they believed in the importance in bringing democracy and stability to this country to thwart it being a haven for and a training area for terrorism. Mourn their loss. As a veteran, I mourn with you over their loss. But honor their memory by acknowledging that they courageously volunteered to fight for what they believed was right, even if you disagree.

May God embrace these fallen soldiers!

Answer 5

Someone in power?
It will all stop when the people of this country decide that it stops. We the people have the power not the government or anyone else in power as you say. The government is set to serve it's people not the other way around. When this is realized then things will change. Just don't forget your nephews died for what they thought was the right thing for them to do. You can question what they did but it was their decision regardless of what happened.

Answer 6

Your nephews are true heroes that helped bring one of the worst mass murders the world has ever know to justice. But, like you say, thats already some time ago. And if all the Iraqis wants to do is kill each other, I don't think the US should keep sacrificing more soldiers in an effort to prevent it.

Answer 7

I'm so sorry to hear about your losses. I, too, am having difficulty seeing what this country is trying to do over there. I never supported the war but I did support our troops. We should have focused on the people responsible for 9/11. I have faith that this will be over sooner than later...we can only hope. Please know that my prayers are with you and your family and all the families that are experiencing losses such as yours.

May God bless you...and our country.

Answer 8

i am truly sorry for your loss.....you are not asking any questions here that everybody else isnt also asking...not all of us lost someone in that attack or in this war...i was blessed to have been spared that pain.....i know that you are grieving right now and all the questions that seem to have no answers fill your head to the point that you cant think anymore....i wont even try to b.s. you and say that your faith will be restored one day because i dont know that it will....be thankful (as hard as that is) that your nephews were honorable and courageous enough to fight for what they believed in....and remember that even though they are fallen their cause continues strong...you and yours have my prayers

Answer 9

i'm very sorry to take heed to about your losses. for my section although that, i imagine you want to be asking our flesh pressers about this to boot. they are finally those who undesirable making plans positioned our troops further in harms way then they had to be. yet they are think to be elected to serve the yank people. I have not all started to confirm how the warfare in Iraq has performed that, or has made the U.S. in any way safer. With the replace in congress, perhaps there'll finally be a replace in coverage regarding Iraq. yet both way, do not enable them spoil out with needlessly squandering extra human existence in that region. Get politically in contact, make your voice heard. the quicker our authorities receives the hint that we should not be scuffling with an Iraqi civil warfare the quicker we can carry our troops homestead, or perhaps perhaps concentration on taking pictures the real criminals to blame for 9/eleven. I in simple terms imagine this is unhappy that throughout any case this time that this is nonetheless bill Clinton that ought to declare he got here the nearest to taking pictures Osama bin encumbered, it in simple terms is going to practice how lost the White homes priorities easily are.

Answer 10

You are extremely depressed at the moment. It sounds as though you should seek professional help. Try talking to (in person) some friends and/or relatives.
