And I feel sorry for people with the pathetic attitude that we always have
to turn the other cheek!

Your right. If it was a John Wayne movie we could just ride in and have the
battle with the 'bad guys'. Unfortunalty, this being real life, the 'bad
guys' are indistiguisable from the innocents you want to protect. our
bullets and bombs aren't movie props.

Sorry... But I care very little for what 'They' feel right now. Prior to the
WTC perhaps you would have struck a chord... Now? Anything to eliminate the
threat to our own people. If the 'innocents' would just stand up and fight
back... They do outnumber the Taliban over 500 to 1.

Since I don't claim to be a Christian, I really don't care what Christ would
have to say about it.
