'It's Freedom, Ma'am'
Blogger Mohammad Fadhil of IraqtheModel.com eloquently answers Cindy Sheehan (quoting verbatim):
I know how you feel Cindy, I lived among the same pains for 35 years but worse than that was the fear from losing our loved ones at any moment. Even while I'm writing these words to you there are feelings of fear, stress, and sadness that interrupt our lives all the time but in spite of all that I'm sticking hard to hope which if I didn't have I would have died years ago.
Ma'am, we asked for your nation's help and we asked you to stand with us in our war and your nation's act was (and still is) an act of ultimate courage and unmatched sense of humanity. Our request is justified, death was our daily bread and a million Iraqi mothers were expecting death to knock on their doors at any second to claim someone from their families. Your face doesn't look strange to me at all; I see it everyday on endless numbers of Iraqi women who were struck by losses like yours.
Our fellow country men and women were buried alive, cut to pieces and thrown in acid pools and some were fed to the wild dogs while those who were lucky enough ran away to live like strangers and the Iraqi mother was left to grieve one son buried in an unfound grave and another one living far away who she might not get to see again.
We did nothing to deserve all that suffering, well except for a dream we had; a dream of living like normal people do.
We cried out of joy the day your son and his comrades freed us from the hands of the devil and we went to the streets not believing that the nightmare is over. . . .
The mothers went to break the bars of cells looking for the ones they lost 5, 12 or 20 years ago and other women went to dig the land with their bare hand searching for a few bones they can hold in their arms after they couldn't hold them when they belonged to a living person.
I recall seeing a woman on TV two years ago, she was digging through the dirt with her hands. There was no definite grave in there as the whole place was one large grave but she seemed willing to dig the whole place looking for her two brothers who disappeared from earth 24 years ago when they were dragged from their colleges to a chamber of hell.
Her tears mixed with the dirt of the grave and there were journalists asking her about what her brothers did wrong and she was screaming "I don't know, I don't know. They were only college students. They didn't murder anyone, they didn't steal, and they didn't hurt anyone in their lives. All I want to know is the place of their grave."
Why was this woman chosen to lose her dear ones? Why you? Why did a million women have to go through the same pain?
We did not choose war for the sake of war itself and we didn't sacrifice a million lives for fun! We could've accepted our jailor and kept living in our chains for the rest of our lives but it's freedom ma'am. Freedom is not an American thing and it's not an Iraqi thing, it's what unites us as human beings.

aWWWWW! Thank you! Can you add my nephew and son?
Jule posted Thank you Freepers
MY SON is a new active duty United States Marine.
I am compelled to thank you for watching his, and all United States Armed Service's men's and women's, back in Crawford this weekend. There are no words that will adequately describe my thanks for your response to the woman and her dangerous agenda in Crawford. I am, simply, in your debt.
It has never been more obvious that the MSM cares less for our troops than Casey Sheehan's mother. more at the thread..
Can you please add her son and nephew to the Prayer list?
Jule would you like to be added to our ping list? And a big, warm welcome to you from the Finest
Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Mama_Bear; Dutchess; Dansangel; Aquamarine, and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nations leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.

You're in the "finest" company now. You are in my prayers in behalf of your son and your nephew.....and Casey...and yourself!
My son is in the Air Force and I understand where you are coming from. Except that my son is usually not in any specific danger. ((((((hugs))))) from another Military Mom!

To: freema
Welcome home freema. We are a family here at the Finest. We have former Marines and parents of current Marines, Army, Air Force, Navy, Reserves. LadyX is a former Marine from the Korean Conflict era. So is my hubby. It's_me-K.E.T. has a son in Iraq. There are too many for me to recall them all. You will fit in quite nicely here. As for the pictures, you can ask someone to Freepmail you their e-mail address and you can send them the pics and they will post them for you. I've been doing that for years. Ha.
Be sure to drop around tomorrow and Weds. and meet several of our family members as we recall a recent visit that some Calif. Freepers made to Ohio and W.Va. to meet up with Freepers in those states. We all had a great time and we have pictures.

To: Jemian
Hi Jemian. Glad you are here and want to say THANK YOU to your son for volunteering during wartime. He's a right handsome young man too. I know you are proud of him and you and your husband have done a great job raising your children to be good Christians.
I too visited the web page and I'm impressed by your dedication to service in God's Kingdom. Are you currently in the states? Your husband was born in Decatur, Ala. and I was born just across the Tenn. line in Lincoln County, Tenn. Grew up in Huntsville. Lived in Montgomery 76-80. Husband's bluegrass band used to play parties at Auburn Univ. during that time frame. Hope you come back to see us as often as you can. Keep us updated on your work in Papua.

Good evening Billie. I'm hoping that I will be able to spend some time with the thread the next two days. Have a doctor's appt. on Weds and will also keep Emma. I should be cool for tomorrow, but you know how my job is. Minute to minute. Hope you are well and escaping the heat down there.
