On 10-26, i did an illustration depicting the word why using the names of the 2,000 troops who had, at that time, died in iraq. here on this blog, the feedback from readers, both pro and con was enormous. in response, a young woman, an 11th grader, has created the response above. what do you all think?

Well maybe if you'd ante up and send your kid to a private school, they wouldn't be "indoctrinated".
Are you suggesting that people that don't send their children to private schools are being CHEAP?
"This 11th grader has more common sense than 80% of the readership of the AJC."
Well, she certainly doesn't get the common sense from her mother! After all, 2,000 + Americans killed so far in this war plus, let's say, that many additional allied forces plus, let's say, 50,000 Iraqi. Total, about 54,000, admittedly a guess.
Now, let's contrast that with how many Iraqis would have died under Hussein in the same time frame - more, very painfully.
The mother is a left wing stooge as is Luckovich. The young lady has a great future if her mother doesn't screw it up.
Probably. But that's not the way I would have done the math. Even if the Hitlers and Husseins of the world had enslaved people without killing a soul, it still would have been worth it to fight them. It's about freedom. Life is free will and when you take away freedom, you are taking away life.
I'm a little tired of the anti-war people implying that only they care about the loss of life. How do they think America became America? Freedom costs dear and is not exclusive to Americans. Our freedom is enhanced by every nation that turns from tyranny to liberty.
I went back and found the quote. The post was by someone in reply to someone who posted, "Freedom is the freedom to ask why". The answer was, "I'd just like to ask all of our freeper friends out there why is it the President of the United States of America is almost completely and willfully, ignorant of this fact". I found it odd that he brought posters from this site into a forum like that one is.
It's really strange how the 17 year-old Danielle Ansley and the 16 year-old Farris Hassan "get it" while people who are supposed to be adults don't. Danielle and Farris are real Americans. We need more like them.
"I found it odd that he brought posters from this site into a forum like that one is."
Probably a disgruntled DUmmie. They have nothing to say for themselves so they just attack everyone else.
mike doesn't know how to use his Shift key so is it a surprise an 11th grader would "get" what he so clearly does not?
LOL I don't think she'll have to worry about getting a date, either.
Those DUmmies on the AJC thread, however, probably havent had one in years.
