Sent out the letter to my email list today...here is a response I received from friend in Boston. He is Lib (of course).. but was in Peace Corps for 8 years in Iran & married an Iranian woman. That was 30 years ago... He has been a freind since we were in 4th grade.. was our class valdictorian & later educated in the East for all degrees & is now one of the world transportation experts & does consulting worldwide. Pre war he kept referring to the "war monger in the White House". sure many of you will/did receive similar responses.

The letter from Iraq was not at all reassuring. Sure, the media see it different. They're still far from objective.

I'm not sure what your take on the letter was. I found very disturbing the simplistic thinking that the military demands and nurtures. Why aren't the Iraqis more submissive and appreciative. After all -- they're ragheads, liked by the hippies and the air-fairies warriors of Allah longing for a paradise of 72 slave girls human garbage whose neighbors are goatherders and weird dudes

Ah, but what wonderful opportunities to advance up the military ranks this all presents! In the end, our friend loves war. It helps him define his manhood. And what could be more important than that?

Dolly, I'm sorry you posted that. It's pure liberal BS of course - and typical. Perhaps you could remind your friend just what these Soldiers go through to protect HIS right to be stupid.

Oppressed people around the world aren't calling for the UN, the Peace Corps or the DNC - they are asking for the US MILITARY to help, knowing our guys DO - with little thanks or recognition from those who reap the benefits of freedom in America.

Dolly, your friend is a wanker. Sorry.
