  xena,

  my question is absolutely valid - would you allow the "enemy" to post something like this without responding to it?

  also, i am not her friend, have not met her and did not know that her son is apparently in iraq.

  xena,

  despite the fact that she did not make it clear that is meant as support for a family member there are better ways of expressing proudness in one's children than posting a controversial "poem".

  sheila,

  do the soldiers who fight for the other side(s) deserve the same respect?

  do people who acheive peaceful changes deserve the same respect?

  do politicians who start wars for economical or personal reasons deserve respect?

  and do the soldiers who blindly follow their orders (wrong or right) deserve more respect than someone who criticises the politician?

  the piece glorifies the US military and attacks the anti war crowd in a simplistic, superficial way. if there are deeper level hidden please elaborate.

  sheila,

  because the "poem" is simplistic and nationalistic propaganda.

  crazy,

  it is not hypocritical at all.

  yeru, luckily this is not my computer! and it will be newly set up with XP soon anyway. you are too convinced of the rightousness of your country and your cause. you actually seem to think you protect the world against islam and terrorism. that is of course rediculous. the only thing you actually defend is US interests in the region, thats all. the killing of the korean is horrible of course. but one cannot expect a lot of compassion from these people. you should not forget that they view you and all other memebers of the occupation force as you view them.

  yeru, Let me know when the US starts targeting innocent civilians...ok. in the last 50 years over and over again. millions. currently it would remove the last shred of legitimacy the US pretends to have for this war. nevertheless the US targets building where terrorists supposedly hide thereby killing primarily civilians. tell me, does the US blow up condominiums in the US if they expect a criminal to hide in there? i don't think so. the US gov. allowed the torture of prisoners (in iraq and guantanamo)! something they use to portray hussein as a monster. the word hypocrisy might come to mind.

  so many people think that we've never been through anything like this before.

  "iraq is horrible and wrong.

  " it's understandable when you look at the press coverage the democrats are getting, talking about this "micromanaging" every little thing that goes wrong.
