While we as quads may feel that priorities are not correct, as Americans we should realize 9/11 changed many things. Gone was that secuirity we felt, seperated from what is a daily way of life in places like Israel, Chile, Indonesa, Pakistan, Sri-Lanka, and many other places where Islamic Facists and other groups of Terrorists have been waging their war on modern society. I'm more pissed off at the Leftist Media BS which ignores everything good happening while overblowing things like the "ABUSE" (not TORTURE) which a few were guilty of in Abu Grav, the story about our soldiers mistreating the Koran that turned out to be a LIE run by News Week, which caused riots resulting in deaths. When the truth came out that detainies had been flushing its pages down the toilet, not a word was heard out of the Middle East. People like Ted Kennedy should sit down and shut up instead of trying to use this for political gain. All they do is add more fuel to the fire which Al Gazeera can't wait to use.

"There have been an average of 160,000 troops stationed in Iraq during the last 22 months. During this time the firearm death total was 2,112 for a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000. The rate in Washington DC is 80.6 per 100,000. That means that you are more likely to be shot and killed in our Nation's Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq. Conclusion: We should immediately pull out of Washington, D.C." http://www.grunt.com/scuttlebutt/newsarchives/2005/june_2_ac.asp Sorry guys, But I support the effort in Iraq. I have my reasons to believe it was something we had to do. If the damned French had not stabbed us in the back, the war could have been avoided. Knowing what we know NOW, it's a good thing we put an end to Sadamned before the world dropped the 91 sanctions. Stunt > > Hey John, > How do we beat this into the heads of our so called leaders? I swear the people on this list make a hell of a lot more scence than the people running our countrys. How do we get our voices heard, I would love to send this very post to Bush. Im sure there's a hell of a lot more people that feel the same way, what if you or Stunt wrote a letter and all of us and all our family and email friends sign it. That would be a lot of people, at least they would know how we feel. We also could send it to our states officials, am I making any scince here. Please let me hear input good or bad. > Silas Feeling real helpless and pissttttttttt off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! > ----- Original Message ----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; [email protected] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, June 07, 2005 12:34 PM > Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] A nice poem to the French > > > If it is in a poem it must be true.

We sat and denounced Vietnam in the 70's for going into Cambodia to end the horror there. We propped up the Shah of Iran then can not understand why Iran thinks we are their enemy. We backed the Taliban until 9/11. We watched the genocide in Rwanda and today we blame the UN. We sat and criticized India for intervening in Pakistan's civil war where millions in Bangladesh we exterminated. > We have supported so many two bit dictators I'm surprised we have any friends. We actually send foreign aid to numbered Swiss bank accounts. There are some things seriously wrong in this world. I think we should help correct many of the worlds ills but not as military power.
