   Wench Nikkie,

   Thanks. He has actually completed his first tour with only minor injuries. However, he is being shipped back for his second within the next six months.

   After reading these post, I must confess that I am highly upset with the mentality of my fellow noodle followers. American is at war. War is not a good thing, but it can have good results. While it is true that Saddam Heusein was not behind 9/11, it has been proven that Saddam have given financial assistance and a safe haven to terrorist. As President Bush said, “We will make no distinction between those who committed these acts, and those to harbor them.”

   I am not a Republican, and Bush has lost my support, however, this war is necessary for the survival of non muslims. I have served in the US Marine Corps and have been to that part of the world. What Americans do not understand is these people will not negotiate. They will stop at nothing to either covert us to muslim or to kill us. To quote Osama Bin Laden, “…we value death more than Americans value life.” Osama is correct.

   While I’m with Young Republican and agree that if we don’t fight this war in the Middle East, they will bring it here, it’s also a battle of will. At this point, their will is stronger than ours. I pray that this does not continue. We cannot afford to appease the terrorist anymore. Appeasement didn’t work on or before 9/11, Apeasement didn’t work in the first WTC bombing in 1993. Appeasement didn’t work when two of our embassys were bombed in Africa, Appeasement didn’t work with the USS Cole, Appeasement didn’t work with Beiruit. The list goes on and on. The only negotiation that the Islamo-Fascits undersand is death, and our God is better than your allah.

   It’s no secrete that America is torn over this war and some Americans want us to loose this war. I have served my country honorably and faitfully and I am happy to loose 4 years of social life to serve my country and countrymen. I have never regretted what I have done. It has opened up my eyes to see what the world is all about.

   I have a cousin who is serving his third tour in Iraq in the Marine Corps. This tour was completely voluntary. Every military personel who has been to Iraq/ Afganastan has something completely different to say than what you hear in the news. Get out there and talk to a War on Terror Veteran.

   People in Iraq are very greatful for thier liberation. You won’t hear about it from the liberal media. Just look how many Iraqis, men and women go out to vote. They know that they are putting their life at risk standing in line to vote. A higher percentage of Iraqis turned out to vote in their last election, than Americans in this past November. If anything, it sounds like Amercians don’t support freedom.

   To A Marine’s Brother,

   Keep in mind that we have a competely volunteer military. Nobody made your Marine sign the papers. I know for a fact that every person who talks to a Marine recruiter knows about the chances of war. Marine recruiters drive this into the candidates head. If your Marine didn’t want to go to war, than he/she shouldn’t have sign the papers.

   Oh dear, I can see myself getting into a long and bitter argument with SALMNDR92.
   .
   For a start, papers seized from the former government in iraq show that Saddam was if anything, concerned about al-quieda and had no intention of supporting the particular fraction that caused 9/11.
   .
   “however, this war is necessary for the survival of non muslims.” uhhh.

   .
   “They will stop at nothing to either covert us to Muslim or to kill us.” This is partially true, however, I must quote a middle eastern royal (I think it was the prince of Jordan) “It is important to distinguish between groups such as Hamas, who have a potentially legitimate territorial depute with Israel and groups such as al-quieda, who are quite mad.” To say it another way, I’ve heard many reports that Israel is not being very democratic to the Arabs living in Palestine, and the Arabs are understandably getting a bit pissed and resorting to terrorism, it’s not because they want to rule the world.
   .
   “The only negotiation that the Islamo-Fascits understand is death, and our God is better than your allah.” Shut Up!
   .
   “some Americans want us to loose this war.” It’s that black and white to you is it?

   “The only negotiation that the Islamo-Fascits undersand is death, and our God is better than your allah.” While I support kicking the ass of anyone who attacks us (and kicking their family’s ass, and kicking their dog’s ass etc), I DON’T SUPPORT DOING IT IN THE NAME OF GOD. If they want to kill us because of their religious beliefs, so be it. We have a military for just this occasion. But, this should have nothing to do with anyone’s god. Many, many people have died for this insane religious bulls*it. Just because they may be “all messed-up on allah” doesn’t mean we have to fight in the name of some god. Did you ever consider that fist fight you got into in 5th grade? Were you punching him because he believed in Buddah? Or because he pushed you during recess?

   @Marine Brother

   I hope your brother remains safe and returns home unharmed.

   I worked in NYC a number of years and have many friends who are fearful of working in Manhattan everyday because it is an obvious and repeated target for extremist. I know this is not the same as going oversees to risk your life. I am sure however, that this is a cause of some level of insomnia and I am sure a few wives or husbands wrench themselves away from their spouse on their daily commute with this in mind. And this is not just in NYC but many major cities and potential targets in the US. So, I think collectively we don’t need to have a son or brother or close friend in Iraq to have a say in the matter. I expect that if only those in military service, pentagon, etc were the ones that decide these things we would have been in Iraq sooner.

   I am sorry for your families anguish and I respect your courage. Your family and your brother are all heroes in my book. May his appendages keep you all safe.

   To SALMNDR92,

   Thank you very, very much for all of your responses. Though we may not hold the same point of view, it was nice to find someone with a well developed and well stated argument. If there were more people like you who were able to justify their views in such a proffessional manner, we would definetly be able to make more progress towards getting out of this mire the united states is in. I also thank you for your time of service in our armed forces. As part of a military family, it is always good to hear from servicemen like yourself.

    Also, I know that the people of Iraq are grateful. My brother has shown me many momentos of thier thanks that have been given to him. I also know that his service voluntary, but it was still a very trying experience when he was on his first tour.

    However, on a negative not, I definetly do not agree with, or even understand some of the things said by SALMNDR92. Such as the part about negotiations and how “The only negotiation that the Islamo-Fascits undersand is death, and our God is better than your allah.”

    ???

    Some clarifycation of these little snippits of your post would be nice.

    As I mentioned before, I spent time in that part of the world. They are fanatics over there. This is something that is hard for most “protected” Americans to acknoledge. Most Americans cannot fathom the fact that people are willing to die for a cause instead of talking it out. I have nothing against other religions, but until I see muslim leaders in the US and around the world stand up and speak against the global terror attacks that are committed by muslims, I must say that I am loosing confidence in the muslim religion. As I recall, earlier this year the Israelis willingly gave up the West Bank to the Palestinins, only to have some of thier soldiers kidnapped and killed. You CANNOT NEGOTIATE WITH THESE PEOPLE. THEY ONLY RECOGNIZE DEATH AND DEFEAT. I never meant to have my words twisted into a religious war. When I said “Our God is better than your allah,” I meant to say that is the mindset of the Islamo-fascists. They are not willing to recognized any other God and will kill to keep allah the only god. If we say our God is what we believe, then we will be killed.

    I don’t know if anyone has heard, but since So Damn Insane has recieved the death sentence, the Iraqi government has people coming out of the walls wanting to be the executioner. They all seem to have lost a loved one to So Damn and want to kill him personally. This is saying something about the kind of tyrant he was and how the Iraqi people hate him. This man killed his own countrymen at will and had the rest of them living in fear of him and his henchmen. If for no other reason, just taking a monster like this out of power was good enough reason to go into Iraq.

    The people of Iraq woke up this morning to the news that Saddam Hussein was executed at dawn local time, about 3 am GMT. His hanging was filmed and we can expect those images to soon be available across the world courtesy of the internet.”

    to Salmndr92:

    I’m confused. I think you are confused also.

    You say “bush has lost my support”. But why, if you support the war? Do you just follow the polls as so many of the other sheep in our flock?

    You say that it is proven that Saddam Hussein has given safe haven and finacial aid to terrorists.Where is this proof? Is it written in spaghetti noodles that only the chosen meatballs can see?
    And that Bush said “we will make no distinction between those that committed these acts and those that harbor them”. The “terrorists” if any, that saddam harbored were not the ones that did 911. He should have said “we will make no distinction between those that committed these acts and people that have oil that we need”.

    You say that we had to invade this country because these muslims want to convert or kill all non-muslims. And we will win because our God is better than their Allah. I think God and Allah should have an arm wrestling match and the winner should take on the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

    When Ossama said “we value death more than you value life” it was his way of saying the same thing New Hampshire said during rthe revolutionary war. “give me liberty or give me death”. When Americans say it, it sounds so noble.

    Here’s the situation as I see it in a nutshell:

    The western world became iterested in the middle east when we became addicted to oil.

    The western world drew lines to define countries in the middle east.

    We set up certain families or tribes (the house of Saud) to become the royalty. Or we set up puppet governments (ex. Shah of Iraq). We gave them stability by backing them up with our military might.

    These royal famalies grew rich while the countrymen remained poor.

    We would secretly support instability in the region (CIA) to keep the countries backward and less oil dependant for one thing, and to keep the governments dependant on our protection(Iran Iraq war).

    We supprted Saddam (and the shaw of Iran) through many attrocities. As long as they played ball with us on the oil thing nothing else mattered. Saddam quit playing ball. He used weopons that we gave on his own people (kinda but different tribe). These people wanted to overthrow and kill him. (Aren’t we over there killing people now because we think they might want to kill us?) We gave him that stuff to kill Iranians with.

    The peasants are tired of foreiners being in there country, keeping things stirred up, so that we can have their oil. They just want everyone to go away. The one thing these guys all have in common is that they are Muslim.

    We are there for the oil!!

    We use religion to make them seem different or crazy or whatever. That is what relgion is for. It’s to motivate people to do things that make absolutly no sense.

    There will be no peace in the world until everyone beleives in the one true God, The Flying Spaghetti Monster. Anyone who does not convert will have to be killed.
