'Died as a hero'

"Hundreds of parents around the country are going through this. They love their kids just like I love my kids. There has to be a better way," she said through tears. "I'm angry at the U.S. government. I'm angry at the people who got us into this war. ... How do we get to peace in this world when we're making enemies faster than we can kill them?"

I feel very sorry for this mother. But if we could ask her son why he left, I am sure he would say to protect all the people like his mother. The terrorists will not stop until they are dead or have install an Islamic veil on the world. There is no peace with them. And if we give the US Armed Forces a Non-PC environment, we will kill them faster than they can make them...

Wonder if this lady ever relected on how many other "Moms" in the past, lost their sons so that she could be free.

Others in the past have paid the bill, there are no exceptions now.

There has to be a better way, she said through tears.

I wish there was, but the history of the human race says no, and no amount of wishing can change that. Until the return of the king, if the lamb lays down with the lion the lamb better be armed.

We'll never know if this war in Iraq could have gone more quickly and rebuilding gone less violently without the "peace activists" getting in the way. All the months we spent dallying around with the UN while Saddam prepared for our arrival, possibly hid or deported WMD's, and foreign fighters poured into Iraq.

I feel heartsick that her son died but think "peace activists" share some of the responsibility for our men dying over there right now.
