One Pissed off Canadian HousewifeThis is very good PLEASE read....Thought you might like to read this letterto the editor. Ever notice how some peoplejust seem to know how to write a letter?This one surely does!This was written by a Canadian woman, but oh howit also applies to the U.S.A., U.K. and Australia .THIS ONE PACKS A FIRM PUNCHWritten by a housewife in New Brunswick , toher local newspaper. This is one ticked off lady..."Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Wasit or was it not, started by Islamic people whobrought it to our shores on September 11, 2001and have continually threatened to do so since?Were people from all over the world, not brutally murderedthat day, in downtown Manhattan , across the Potomac fromthe capitol of the USA and in a field in Pennsylvania ?Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?Do you think I care about four U. S. Marines urinating on some dead Taliban insurgents?And I'm supposed to care that a few Taliban wereclaiming to be tortured by a justice system of anation they are fighting against in a brutal Insurgency.I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the MiddleEast, start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere beliefof which, is a crime punishable by beheading in Afghanistan .I'll care when these thugs tell the world they aresorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head, while Bergscreamed through his gurgling slashed throat.I'll care when the cowardly so-called insurgentsin Afghanistan , come out and fight like men,instead of disrespecting their own religion byhiding in Mosques and behind women and children.I'll care when the mindless zealots who blowthemselves up in search of Nirvana, care about theinnocent children within range of their suicide Bombs.I'll care when the Canadian media stops pretending thattheir freedom of Speech on stories, is more important thanthe lives of the soldiers on the ground or their families waitingat home, to hear about them when something happens.In the meantime, when I hear a story about aCANADIAN soldier roughing up an Insurgentterrorist to obtain information, know this:I don't care.When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in thehead when he is told not to move because hemight be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank:I don't care. Shoot him again.When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed 'special' food, that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being 'mishandled,' you can absolutely believe, in your heart of hearts:I don't care.And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimesit's spelled 'Koran' and other times 'Quran.'Well, Jimmy Crack Corn you guessed it.I don't care!!If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on toall your E-mail Friends. Sooner or later, it'll get tothe people responsible for this ridiculous behavior!If you don't agree, then by all means hit the deletebutton. Should you choose the latter, then please don'tcomplain when more atrocities committed by radicalMuslims happen here in our great Country! And may I add:Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering, ifduring their life on earth, they made a difference inthe world. But, the Soldiers don't have that problem.I have another quote that I would like toshare AND...I hope you forward All this.One last thought for the day:Only five defining forces have ever offered to die for you:1. Jesus Christ2. The British Soldier.3. The Canadian Soldier.4. The US Soldier, and5. The Australian SoldierOne died for your soul,the other four, for you and your children's Freedom.YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON,AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET!AMEN! GOD BLESS CANADA AND AMERICA
Whoever penned that missive has made no valid points.I could apply similar populist nonsense to support the very opposite cause:we're fighting a war on terror aren't we? It started with colonial intervention and progressed right through the cold war, desert storm and gulf 2.0. Should I care about some Afghanis blowing up some New Yorkers? Maybe I will care when western forces stop bombing us decade after decade?Even though people can rightfully feel upset about these things, when it comes to foreign policy we need more empathy and less polarisation.

yes there are arguments both sides, but it is this attitude above that seems to be seething in the american public recently, and i am starting to feel similar, although i agree, look at the Palestine conflict which was cause by "britain" promises both parties access to the holy land in promise for assistance during the war, and then basically pulled out after the war and left both parties to fight it out essentially.
Ooooo this is going to be interesting - because I somewhat hold similar views to the Author.(I could expand, but I will leave it at this and see where the conversation goes)

No people mate.
Being shot in the back or unarmed makes you a terrorist as long as you are the prerequisite 1km radius from the nearest terrorist.

Quote from: Bounty Hunter;438720I read an interesting article recenrtly in the paper, it pointed out that something like 3000 americans had died due to 9/11 + iraq, it then pointed out that this is roughly how many americans are killed on american roads monthlyThe current number of US casaulties in Iraq are double the number of people who died in 9/11.And the current number of Iraqi civilians who have died? One hundred TIMES that number(officially)Of course, the Americans have long stopped counting the dead so the probably number is closer to 800,000 dead than the 600,000 they project

Unless both Wikipedia and Wikileaks have changed since then, the numbers should be about right
The War in Afghanistan (2001–present) has resulted in between 18,000 and 20,000 Afghan civilians being killed
Again all pro war comments are conveniently clumping all muslims into the extremist bad guy bucket.
