"As more and more heathens 'choose' to not have children the number of Godly
souls will increase. If the number of Christian births out number the number
of Islamic births the battle will be over in 3 or 4 generations."

- Doug "No-Clue" Farris (March 10, 2007)

The children in those photos owe their lives and what ever future might be
theirs to the soldiers who are risking their own to make Iraq a place where
they might possibly grow up to be something other than fodder for a ruthless
dictator. Every soldier I have talked to went into the current conflict with
their eyes wide open and came away feeling that they had made a positive
difference after having been there. As to your woolgathering regarding the
fate of the aforementioned children and soldiers, most of the kids have a
shot at an education and a more fulfilling life (especially the girls) and
the soldiers are either back home secure in the knowledge they made a
difference or still over there quietly doing their jobs to the very best of
their ability. Second guessing their mission and bad mouthing their leaders
is doing nothing to make their lives any easier, but then again I don't
imagine that was ever part of the game plan.

You know, Pat, I saw at least two of these photos in the mainstream media
some time ago, even though the ignorant wag who wrote the captions would
have us believe differently, and it moved me to believe our service
personnel deserve better than we are giving them today.  I'm not talking
about time and funds either.  I'm talking about their right to be home with
family before they die in the desert or are forced to return for a second,
third, or even fourth tour in a war that will never be resolved through
their deaths or the deaths of the children so touchingly shown in the
pictures below.  I wonder how many of the soldiers and the kids they
befriended are alive today.  I wonder how, if they are wounded in this war,
will we in America care for them in medical facilities that crumble because
of our government's insistence on privitizing its responsibilities.  I
wonder when, if they should be killed, our President will view the blood on
his hands from sons and daughters he never knew, and say, "enough."  I
wonder why we continue to support egomaniacs hellbent on the pursuit of
policy that even their military strategists and diplomats tell them is
wrong.  

Intersting that in his own inarticulate fashion, our current president so
tellingly insisted, "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are
we.  They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our
people, and neither do we."
