During World War II Japanese Americans joined the military and fought bravely and with great distinction in Europe, proving their loyalty to this nation and proving beyond that, that Americans regardless of skin and creed, would defend this country. Against all the suspiciouns leveraged against them, and internment camps, they went and fought anyway.
Now we have no internment camps, we have no infringements. We give exceptional deference to those who have common backgrounds with the enemy... and instead of joining their fellow Americans to fight the evil ideologies that hijacked their religions, their governments, and other things... They choose to criticize our efforts and undermine the war on terror.
Maybe we started off with too much pampering?
The ugliness is inherent to those who are liberals for life. It is genetic. These people have no choice.
I have an idea...
A citizen exchange program with Cuba. We let liberals emigrate to Cuba, and for every liberal we send to Cuba, we get a family of hard working Cubans looking for freedom.
We never needed MI and there was never really any realistic chance of getting it (perhaps close, but out of reach). Too many auto-worker and teacher unions, post Sept 11 Muslims and now these anti-Bush Iraqis, as well as all the assorted oddball, loony lefties.
From what I remember, many MI Iraqis were anxious to return home after the liberation.
They are believing the MSM. Are they hearing bad reports from their relatives in Iraq too?It is amazing how people want results with no sacrifice. They think everything can be done instantly and perfectly. Where is their grip on reality?
I guess he prefers, repression, torture, and death to chaos.
How about getting your sorry butt over there to do something about it like I did, you coward.
Bingo!
A terrorist attack emanating from Dearborn before the election is a real possibility IMO.
Forget this stuff. The writer lost all credibility when he interviewed Bonior. One, he's a loser, extreme left liberal democrat who hates Bush.
Two, he never in his life represented one square foot of Oakland County. Of course, he never really represented his own district of Macomb and St. Clair Counties either. I had the extreme misfortune of having that swine as my Congressman for many years. Course, now I'm stuck with Sander Levin.
What "advice" did I give?
Granholm, Levin, Stabenow, Unions, Rinos.
A congregation of collectivists and their whining enablers.
Boy, talk about your all-time 'missing the point' moment. They clearly do not understand the overall picture of what happened in Iraq. I'm curious how many have gone back to help, as many said back in 2003 when Saddam was bounced.
This makes me very, very angry. I hope the article is spin.

In Chaldean communities near Detroit and San Diego news of Saddam Hussein's capture spread quickly. "I spoke with my sister in Iraq first thing, and she said the gunfire I heard in the background were coming from the people who are happy," Kinaya, a deacon at Mother of God Chaldean Catholic Church in Southfield, Michigan, told The Detroit Free Press. "The Iraqi people are a democratic people who are now celebrating their freedom."
The Detroit area is home to about 100,000 Chaldean Christians, who saw Saddam's capture as a fitting gift as the church enters the Christmas season. "This is a great Christmas present," said Joseph Kassab, director of the Michigan chapter of the Chaldean National Congress," according to The Detroit News. An Associated Press story, which ran in several California papers reported on Chaldean reactions there. "It's a great joy for all the Iraqi people on this day, especially for Christians," said Noel Gorgis, pastor of St. Paul Assyrian Chaldean Catholic Church in North Hollywood, which has a large Iraqi congregation. "We prepare ourselves for joy on Christmas, and now that joy is complete."
I knew this article was hogwash. I remembered too many Iraqi's dancing in the street up there in michigan. They were thrilled that saddam was taken out.

Link to other story above
Wouldn't it be interesting to get some of these interviewees on air with Limbaugh?
Maybe these Iraqis would like Saddam back in charge. Maybe Kerry would oblige them.
The Chaldeans are okay. Most I know who talk about politics still support the President. The Muslims, that is a different story.
I think the article is hogwash too.
So they found a couple of uninformed and misled Iraqis.
Kansas City Star (October 13, 2004)
One might expect to see a Baghdad city councilman at the United Nations, but in Raytown? That's exactly where Councilman Abid Khalid and an Iraqi doctor, Hayder Abdulkarim, were last week, meeting with Raytown city leaders and *spreading news of progress in their country.

Castro may be crazy, but not stupid!
Who would do the hard work?
After too many trades like that , who would be left to work?
Should have made it clear..........Arabs leave SE Mich and go back to Iraq, all party stores close...........IMO they own all the Beer & Wine stores to facilitate tax evasion and send money back to the Middle East.
