Sister grieves for Iraqis as brother trains for war (Kumbya Alert)

This woman is a complete moron. Not just because of what she wrote, but that she let the Register publish her email address. Freep Away!!

...Army training, after which he may be shipped off to the Middle East to assist in destroying Iraq.. I guess he'll be fighting for Saddam - destroing oil fields, etc.

[x1stcav]

Well, at least her parents had one good kid.

[SJSAMPLE]

That stupid bitch has NO RIGHT to speak on behalf of her brother, or FOR her brother, for that matter. He has willingly made the choice to honor his country, his family, and himself by enlisting. Nothing these peaceniks can do can mitigate his sacrifice.

I returned from a week in Baghdad even more committed to fighting that same war — not to fight in it, but rather to fight against the war.

Do us all a favor and Move over there!

[Britton J Wingfield]

It is time to truly protect, instead of continue to harm, the millions of Iraqis who are not safe at the hands of any oppressive and violent regime.

She got that part right. The 101st and friends will do a fine job of it, too.

[Gothmog]

What pretentious nonsense. But, she says, "His words swirl about dryly in my head." Yeah, no kidding, because there's nothing up there but empty space.

[goldstategop]

The cruelty of Saddam's regime doesn't disturb her. It reminds me of the Talmud's adage to the effect the merciful who show mercy to the cruel will become cruel to the merciful. How fitting.

"But, she says, "His words swirl about dryly in my head." Yeah, no kidding, because there's nothing up there but empty space."

Must be quite a sandstorm going on up there right about now.

>>>>>>U.S. academics like myself had signed a petition against the war; 33,000 of us signed that petition that led to our invitation to Baghdad.<<<<<<<

Damm, where is HUAC when you really need them (again).

[Nucluside]

to No. 6
I think the 82d is going to handle this one! ALL THE WAY!!
Too bad this young man doesn't have the support of his family. Let's all cheer him on!
God Bless Him! God d--n her!

[keri]

The sadness all this leaves me with becomes so much sometimes I cannot breathe.

Catch this pretentious nonsense?

This female wants others to believe she gives a damn about anything or anybody. She doesn't.

Actually, I pinged you to this as a prime example of what I meant by stupid, stupid women laying claim to intelligence and knowledge.

This one should just go ahead and do both sexes a favor and let her "sadness" choke her.

[Gaelic]

I think a dose of hemlock, ala Socrates, will do her wonders.

Hey, Kelly

I read your article, which was published in the New Haven Register, and I am amazed at the position you have taken.

You claim to be an educated person. You deserve to get your money back, because you have not been educated, you have been deluded and deceived. I pity the students that sit in your classes, no doubt you are passing on that which you received.

The freedom you enjoy in this country was obtained and is maintained by violence. We fought 2 wars during the founding of our nation in order to establish the form of government and the freedoms we all possess. Later, we fought 2 more large wars to maintain our freedom. Oh, yes, by the way, we also saved many other people and countries from the bondage of tyranny and ruthless, murderous dictators. We did it with violence because that is the only way they could be stopped.

You are terribly misinformed about Iraq and the threat it poses to all of the world, especially the United States. And the sad part of it is that you were there and missed the whole thing. You consider yourself a formally trained academic? You have a lot to learn about how the world works.

Finally, a good course on the Doctrines of Sin and Man, taught by a true Christian would help you understand these things.

Wake up and wise up,

[Jonah Hex]

Hear that?

(silence)

It's the sound of the world's smallest violin playing...

[Mark17]

At least you put a kumbya alert on it, but a barf alert would have been better.

..."And because my brother and other young, formally uneducated men and women who have read too many romanticized accounts of war will die for reasons none of us fully understand and many of us doubt actually exist."

Can you tell she is an academic? She has identified the problem. What is the problem with her brother and his Army buddies? They are "formally uneducated" and thus not privy to the mysteries of the educated initiates such as herself and the other "Academics for Peace".

Glad she cleared that up...

They are "formally uneducated" and thus not privy to the mysteries of the educated initiates such as herself and the other "Academics for Peace".

Does that make me "informally uneducated"? I went to college, but I think groups like "Academics for Peace" are a bunch of spineless, brainless twits....

[BlueLancer]

"Does that make me "informally uneducated"? "

No, it makes you formerly uneducated. Now, you are; they're not. They're still uneducated.

[Movemout]

"His words swirl about dryly in my head"

I would attribute this to all of the dust in that particular locale.
