We are not Rome — we do not conquer for glory. We are not the British Empire — we do not conquer for commerce. We are Americans; we are a Republic; and we fight to free the Iraqi people and to keep our homes secure.

No one here is "for the war." War is an abomination to God and man. What we are for is protecting America, so my daughter can go to kindergarten and not fear being held captive like in Russia. We support free speech and religion, things that were nonexistent under Saddam. - Fallujah, If only you could see what I have seen

"The American soldier is trying to protect me from the terrorists and the American president saved me from Saddam's regime. If this is an occupation then I show my deepest respect to it and if such suicide attacks are called resistance then let the resistance go to hell." - Hoshyar Zakhoi-Duhok/Iraq

Unfortunately, their are a large group of people that don't vote intelligently. They vote with their, emotions,pocket books, or because someone told them to vote someway. It makes no sense to me that anyone would vote for Kerry, given his record, except for the most ardent liberals. I guess this proves there are lots of sheeple out there.
