You know i saw something too sad early this morning. A 14 yr old palastine girl asked a question. Pretty brave, but you know i though that she has every right to voice her opinion about terrorism, no different then an american. And you know what happened, she was dogged on so bad. Even after ppl found out she was only 14. Why is it that most americans seem to not have an opinion of their own, they have to go the way of the polls. I feel the way i do now because i do listen to my brother. Yes, by the way i am a born and raised american. Along with my parents. At first i will admitt that i blame all muslims. Until my brother came home for good from the Army, after spending 2 tours in Iraq. He talks so highly of the Iraqi ppl. He is the one, along with many other soldiers, who has said that muslims are good ppl. They are kind and have more manners then we do. He also says that his job there isn't done, and there are more ppl to be saved, and to help. So if he doesn't hate them, why do you

Hate me if you will, say what you must, but i'm so tired of so many ppl seeing this as WE as Americans, are the only one effected here, and that everyone from the middle east is bad. I guess me and my family see it so much more different, thanks to my brother. We see it from both sides. And you know if i had a chance i would go to Iraq and personally shake the hands of the muslims who take in our soldiers, but unfortunately, most of them are probably dead. So go ahead, call me names. Do what you must, if it will make you feel better go right ahead. But as soon as you see it from both angles, you will actually start sleeping better at night, because there won't be so much hate in your life. And I pray that one day, everyone can live with even a little less hate.

Thank you all so much, its so nice to know that there are more ppl out there that do feel the same way and that don't hate all muslims. I guess a person just hears more about the ones who do HATE all muslims. Its just nice the see that not all are that way. Again thank you and God Bless.

The problem with many is that they refuse to research issues for themselves and instead depend upon what others say or the media reports.
It's a bit sad when ignorance is so abundant!
You're on the right track....keep on keep'n on!!
Best wishes!

It is for the benefit of those good people that we are there in the first place. To help them defend themselves, to seize freedom and live without fear.
Few people feel hatred toward the entire "people." What we hate is the ideologies that wish us dead, and move forward to make that happen.
Why do you presume that I hate?
Do you feel that we don't have the right to combat those that wish to/ and do kill us?
Thank your brother for me. Got family engaged as well.
Support our troops! God bless America.

Who said we hate all Muslims ? What did the Palestinian girl ask ? You're gonna have to clarify a little if you want intelligent answers . We need to know some details , and if most people answered consistent with how the polls showed, then what's the problem ?
Your question seems to indicate that she possibly justified Hamas or Hezbollah, and that my dear, is terrorism . You are probably unaware that the children over there are completely brain-washed from the age of 3 , that Israel is bad, America is bad, and they should kill us all . They also teach, Hamas is good and Hezbollah is good too. .. . oh, and don't forget Fatah .

it is not iraqis'. it is terrorist murderers. no body questions the good intentions of good people, no matter their religion. and i would say, in my opinion, the thing we hate is the iraqi peoples lack of desire to get along. men are fighting and dying for a people who won't do for themselves. not just americans either. coalition troops from around the world. and for what, a people who won't stand up for themselves. they should take a page from martin luther kings peaceful resistance. here is a small group of people who changed the USA forever and he was not afraid of dying either.
