For hundreds, even thousands, of years men have fought in other lands for causes that were not their own. They fought for those causes because it was what was right.
One might peronally disagree with this or any other war. But to assume you know the full details of why and how we are at war while you publicly protest is completely irresponsible. These protesters owe every single armed forces member the respect of exploring the whys and hows we are in this war, and the truths to those, before they ever publicly open their publicity seeking mouths. It's shameful. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
I loathe those who ascribe alterior motives for the US when it gets involved fighting oversees for "what is right." Colin Powell was confronted at an embassy dinner a few years back, accused of fighting a "war for oil." He'd had enough of this talk and answered, "America has fought oversees in so many situations for so many just causes that people should know by now that we do it because we believe in freedom. We have strived to liberate oppressed people all over the world. And the only thing we have ever asked for in return is enough ground to bury our dead."
God, I love this country. Can you imagine being a Frenchman?
EEEEUUUUUUUUUWWWWWWW!

I'm really excited about the campfire conversations we're all going to have at MOAB.
