For those who are having trouble remembering why we're in Iraq, try reading Mohhamed's letter to Cindy Sheehan:
I know how you feel Cindy, I lived among the same pains for 35 years but worse than that was the fear from losing our loved ones at any moment. Even while I'm writing these words to you there are feelings of fear, stress, and sadness that interrupt our lives all the time but in spite of all that I'm sticking hard to hope which if I didn't have I would have died years ago.
Ma'am, we asked for your nation's help and we asked you to stand with us in our war and your nation's act was (and still is) an act of ultimate courage and unmatched sense of humanity.
Our request is justified, death was our daily bread and a million Iraqi mothers were expecting death to knock on their doors at any second to claim someone from their families.
Your face doesn't look strange to me at all; I see it everyday on endless numbers of Iraqi women who were struck by losses like yours.Our fellow country men and women were buried alive, cut to pieces and thrown in acid pools and some were fed to the wild dogs while those who were lucky enough ran away to live like strangers and the Iraqi mother was left to grieve one son buried in an unfound grave and another one living far away who she might not get to see again.
We did nothing to deserve all that suffering, well except for a dream we had; a dream of living like normal people do.
May that dream come true.
Thanks for posting nonsense from a propaganda blog!
Try to be a bit more discerning in the future. Those gutless chickenhawks in the whitehouse would never soil their fingers by actually fighting themselves. But they have no qualms about pushing our country into another Vietnam style quagmire where thousands of poor and middle class America youth will die and ten time more will return minus limbs.
It takes a truly gutless wonder to avoid a grieving mother like George "AWOL for a Year" Bush is doing.

Pastor Bob: You are entitled to your opinion, and I will defend your right to hold any opinion you wish. That is the primary difference between this nation and most of the other countries of the world.
Your perception of our president disturbs me greatly, as the AWOL issue was proven false by other bloggers several months ago, but that too is your right.
Jeffrey: Keep up the great work!
