Letter to an American Soldier (from U.K. article)

Dear Soldier,

For some time now, we have sought to underplay the strife in Washington to reassure

you that despite our differences we are all united behind your mission. It is no

longer possible to do so. Sadly, there are some among us whose worldview is so

skewed that in their minds you are worse than the murderous terrorists intent on

our destruction. To them you are the bad one while they are freedom fighters. These

people think we cannot and deserve not to win this war.

And what he says in the last paragraph goes for me, also.

He's a good guy. I sent him an email thanking him for an earlier column and pointing him toward FR. He very kindly updates me on his current columns. Good mag he writes for, also

We'll have to re-invade in order to secure such a vision of hope for those countries.

I'm sure they are. I escaped in the fall of 76, one day after I graduated college. Is Harvard Square still ilke a third world banana republic?

On June 14, 2005, Dick Durbin, the second highest ranked democrat in the U.S. Senate, compared the actions of our military personnel at Guantánamo Bay to those of the Nazi, Soviet and Pol Pot regimes.

what's funny is that Durbin would likely have supported those regimes as "freedom fighters"

Watch out admitted you've ever lived in MA or MA will impose a former-domicillary tax of 10% of your current income.


Just joking.

(But they would if they could.)
