"A person, no matter his nationality, is a human being."
I like this phrase -- it approaches the simple eloquence and decency of some of the words that this country was founded on, like "All men are created equal." Not bad for someone with little training in English!
Mohammed's tale is one of a man who didn't like what he saw when he walked into the Saddam Hospital last Friday.
I like this phrase also. America was founded by individuals who looked at something they didn't like, and who took action to change it.
I'd like to see Mohamed and his family come to the U. S. if that's what he wants -- he's really got the American spirit!
My greatest fears are not that Iraq cannot flourish in freedom, but that it will not be allowed to because such is a grave threat to the fanatical bloodlust of Islamism and despotic regimes remaining in the Middle East.
I also fear that we are in perhaps this nations most dangerous hour, with an insidious corrosion driving the other main party, dividing the people, trashing our founding principles. Senator Kerry's comments and subsequent defense of same --with clintonesque spin and misdirection-- and the democrat party expedient defense of his licklespittle shows the treachery of liberalism in action.
What Kerry said is far more than political rhetoric, it impugns the service of our honorable Soldiers at war under their Commander-in-Chief. By obvious yet ignored association, his comments compare our troops to the Republican Guard serving an evil dictator in his torture and murder of the Iraqi people, a regime in need of changing. That the media is too timid or too blind to see and expose such perfidy is a frightening indictment of their servile posture before Liberalism. And that trend is a mutation of the press, the source for public reflection on our leadership.
Our nation is at risk at home, as it is abroad, from forces set on changing or destroying this land of the free. Moslems wishing to live in peace and tolerance of other religions are no where near the 'threat' to America that the current leadership of the Democrat Party and their servile press pose. We the people had better take note and become active against this threat, or this nation shall not much longer endure under our founding principles.
Iraqi citizens, as their sense of personal safety grows, will not take up arms against the fedayeen and security thugs hiding and taking hostages in their neighborhoods. They will, however, share their educated guesses on the current whereabouts of these butchers with our badass, gun-toting guys.
The killers, rapists and torturers can't hide in mosques, storefronts and tenaments forever. Guys like Muhammed the lawyer are helping us target undercover bad guys this very moment, all over Iraq.
