This is not a call for violence or threats. It is simply a call for all of us to be heard. We can spend our time writing each other on FR, or we can reach out to those in need of education.

It is amazing that those who need education so very much think they have the calling or wisdom to educate our children.

Mr. de Genova,

I am sending you this e-mail to express my total disgust with your recent comments during your anti-war teach-in. You made such comments as "The only true heroes are those who find ways that help defeat the U.S. military" , "I personally would like to see a million Mogadishus." and "If we really believe that this war is criminal ... then we have to believe in the victory of the Iraqi people and the defeat of the U.S. war machine."

I am a member of the United States Army who currently serves in the "War Machine" as you so quaintly put it. I have had friends wounded and killed in Mogadishu and have family in Iraq who are fighting for the liberation of the Iraqi people who have been under the control of a man who has tortured and killed his own people to maintain power.

I urge you to think about those men and women in the U.S. Armed Forces (some of whom could be young enough to be your children or grandchildren) who are in harm's way and the peril they face. Remember, those who least want to go to war are those who have to fight it.
