The following was supposedly written by a housewife from New Jersey and sounds like it! This is one ticked off lady. It's too bad that more Americans don't express themselves as she does. I totally agree with her.
Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001? Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan , across the Potomac from our nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania ?
Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?
And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was 'desecrated' when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet?...Well, I don't. I don't care at all.
I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.
I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia
I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for chopping off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat.
I'll care when the cowardly so-called 'insurgents' in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques.
I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide .
I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights.
In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care.
When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a college-hazing incident, rest assured: I don't care.
When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank: I don't care.
When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed 'special' food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being 'mishandled,' you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts: I don't care.
And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled 'Koran' and other times 'Quran.' Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and-you guessed it-I don't care !!
If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to all your E-mail friends. Sooner or later, it'll get to the people responsible for this ridiculous behavior!
If you don't agree, then by all means hit the delete button. Should you choose the latter, then please don't complain when more atrocities committed by radical Muslims happen here in our great Country! And may I add:
'Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don't have that problem' -- Ronald Reagan
I have another quote that I would like to add AND.......I hope you forward all this.
'If we ever forget that we're One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.' Also by.. Ronald Reagan
One last thought for the day:
In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the Anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember. England's Prime Minister Tony Blair's words during a recent interview. When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America , he said: 'A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in.. And how many want out.'
Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
1. Jesus Christ
2. The American G. I.
One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON, AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET BOTH OF THEM

I'm sorry Cuz, but I have issue with this crap.
The bimbo who wrote this says she doesn't care about just about everything related to the muslims, Iraqis etc. She shows no care or respect for the religious icons of other races. And in the same breath she states the "One nation under God" phrase and "Jesus died for us yada yada yada".
That last part is the ONLY thing I have to agree with.
I am the first to admit that as a Christian I am sorely lacking. However, I don't believe Jesus died for our sins just so that we could continue sinning with impunity. KILLING is still killing. If it makes you feel more comfortable to disguise it under the ruse of "defending one's country", sorry, it's still killing. I don't know what number it is, but I'm pretty sure that's one of top five commandments at least. And how exactly do you "defend" your country while your in someone else's country? In soccer you don't defend your opponent's goal. Same goes for basketball, football and most other sports. You defend on your home turf not somewhere else.
All men are created equal. That's in our Declaration of Independence. But sometimes I feel that that document was written by George Orwell rather than Thomas Jefferson. All men are created equal...but some are more equal than others. We'll tolerate other people's beliefs just so long as they are the same as ours. If someone chooses to worship Buddha or Mohammed or Allah, we so-called "Christians" call them pagans, heretics or non-believers. Where's that "brotherly love" we're so fond of espousing?
The same goes for Americans (and yes, I consider myself one). We're friends with everybody just so long as they have the same beliefs and standards we do. Whoever doesn't fit our blueprint of a "friendly nation" has to suffer our interference with their handling of their culture. Viet-Nam, Korea, Falkinds, Kuwait, Bosnia, Afghanistan, Iraq...see a pattern here? We just can't help but stick our noses into other countries' business. Then we act surprised whenever some maniac commits an act of terrorism against us.
Granted, 9-11 was a horrible tragedy. It shouldn't have happened. We were warned. No one paid attention. We continued to stick our noses where it doesn't belong. So what do we do in response? We go and attack another nation for HOUSING the terrorist responsible for the attack. Oh but wait! This other country has a baaaaad man ruling it and he said some baaaad things about us. Let's go bomb HIS country and take him down. After all, his beliefs aren't our own. They aren't like us. They're not even Christians!!! Forget the fact that that country is the cradle of civilization. And to make sure all the other baaad men get the message, let's hang this guy and celebrate while he's still swinging from the end of a rope. After all, we're AMERICANS, we're always in the right, and that's the "Christian" thing to do. It's justice, right?
And where are we now? Thanks to our meddling in other people's affairs and bringing OUR definition of what's RIGHT to a foreign country, we are now suffering a recession. Gas prices are at an all-time high and are STILL climbing. We had to borrow billions from China so that we could spend money to stimulate our flagging economy (by buying items made in China. Who benefits?)
And not to be repetitious, but I've been forwarded emails about our schools forbidding God and prayers etc. How the HELL can any so-called American DARE to sermon against other countries and their so-called "heathen" ways, when we don't even believe in God anymore?
I wonder. What would have become of America if the REAL AMERICANS had retaliated in this way against the people who came and stole their lands, killed their people and forced their "Christian" views on them? In my book, these so-called red-blooded Americans performed acts of terrorism against the red-blooded, red SKINNED Americans. No one "punished" them.
In Spanish we have a saying: "Predicando moral en pantaletas". Loosely translated, Preaching moral values while in your underwear.
That's what this woman is doing. That's what a lot of Americans are doing. And I won't stand for it.
WE ARE ALL GOD'S KIDS. He made us all, not just some. And whether some people call him Yahweh, Jehova, Jesus, Buddha, Allah, Green Man, Keeper or whatever, He's still GOD!
And I don't think He's really very happy with what we've been doing lately.
Sorry if I come across too strongly. I just hate hypocrisy. And before you ask, yes, I served in the US Army. I have the rank of 2nd Lieutenant. I am also a conscientious objector. Main reason I didn't pursue a career in the military. Like I said before, killing is killing no matter how you justify it.
My two cents.
