The writer of the article suggests we send a dollar to the illiterate children of Afghanistan.

Actually, it was President Bush who requested that American children send a dollar to an Afgan child.

But let me add that I only agree with the author's characterization of the victims. I do not agree with her moral equivelency of global crisis.

As did the writer.

Me too...she weakens her mostly excellent points when she's less than "objective" about other tragedies, global or otherwise.

I think a lot of people here are underestimating the American public’s power to forget. Most members of Free Republic have pretty good memories, but let me to try to refresh a few.

The American people had a choice of who’s cry to listen to after 911.

There was the lady who said “I didn’t send my son off to go to war that morning, I sent him to work”. The fact this women was still sending her adult son to work didn’t bother anyone and her’s was the popular quote directly after 911.

I’m thankful Lisa Beamer has step forward to keep the memories fresh in the public’s mind.Maybe you didn’t notice but it was her interviews that silenced the liberal crybabies in the media singing “we sent them to work not to war”.

Lisa Beamer is a real “Let’s Roll” type of babe, who believes in conservative values.

The American capacity to remember is not what most of the people on this thread believe it to be.

I don’t think any us of would prefer hearing the chant
“ We Sent Them To Work Not To War”
and I believe the minute the media silences Mrs. Beamer that is what we will be hearing.

So I say

Three Cheers for THE “LETS ROLL” BABE!!! Lisa Beamer

The former is used as a delivery system for the latter, because the author knows that presenting the latter on its own dubious merits would fail miserably.
