Was this published i wonder???

[mervin]

I thought you might like to read this letter to the editor ~ ever notice how some people just seem to know how to write a letter?.

This one sure does!

This was written by a Canadian woman, but oh how it also applies to the

U.S., U.K. Australia & NZ

THIS ONE PACKS A FIRM PUNCH

Here is a woman who should run for Prime Minister!

Written by a housewife in New Brunswick , to her local newspaper. This is one ticked off lady.

'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 and have continually threatened to do so since?

Were people from all over the world, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan , across the Potomac from the capitol of the USA 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 few Taliban were claiming to be tortured by a justice system of the nation they come from and are fighting against in a brutal insurgency.

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 belief of which is a crime punishable by beheading in Afghanistan ..

I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat.

I'll care when the cowardly so-called 'insurgents' in Afghanistan come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques and behind women and children.

I'll care when the mindless zealots who blows themselves up in search of

nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs.

I'll care when the Canadian media stops pretending that their freedom of speech on stories is more important than the lives of the soldiers on the ground or their families waiting at home to hear about them when something happens.

In the meantime, when I hear a story about a CANADIAN soldier roughing up an Insurgent terrorist to obtain information, know this:

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 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 behaviour!

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 Soldiers don't have that problem.'

I have another quote that I would like to add, AND.......I hope you forward all this.

One last thought for the day:

Only six defining forces have ever offered to die for you:

1. Jesus Christ

2. The British Soldier.

3. The Canadian Soldier.

4. The US Soldier.

5. The New Zealand Soldier, and

6. The Australian Soldier.

One died for your soul, the other 5 for your freedom.

YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON, AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET ALL OF THEM.

AMEN!

[vic-fzr600]

WOW, she was one angry woman.

Can't say i disagree with anything she said though - or could improve on how she says it.

BIG respect to the guys/girls putting themselves on the line for the rest of us.

well what a load of ballox,not only does this woman not get her facts right but she is also guilty of forgetting all the other soldiers from many other countries who are putting there lives on the line.At this writing, there are 42 two countries have contributed military forces to the fight in Afghanistan, 28 from NATO, fourteen from outside NATO. They are Albania, Australia, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Jordan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Macedonia, Turkey, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, and the US. The US, UK, Netherlands, France, Germany, Italy, Australia, and Canada have force levels in the thousands; the rest below one thousand.but all fighting and losing there lives.

its funny how she only mentions six? jesus well i thought he turned the other cheeck and fighting for freedom well i dont remember that i only remember fighting in countries with oil rich reserves or mineral reserves like the falklands.

[Ttaskmaster]

Aye - Strange how the ramblings of this woman remarkably resemble an internet malcontent...

I'll care when the cowardly so-called 'insurgents' in Afghanistan come out and fight like men

There are no rules in war.

If it bothers you that they're not 'fighting fair' then maybe you should pick up a rifle and go do something about it, eh?

Only six defining forces have ever offered to die for you

What, ever ever ever?

I'm sure I recall a large contingent of French and Dutch people dying for us in WWII.

Canadians, Brits, Americans and A&NZers too.... in fact, the soldiers of most nations have done exactly that.

[Gas up - Let's Go!]

she is also guilty of forgetting all the other soldiers from many other countries who are putting there lives on the line.

Hmmm.

You just don't here of any other nationals suffering, yet I'm sure they are - is this just some sort of vain attempt by the media to suggest that the British forces are the only ones suffering ???? and in the USA, do they only here about US troops ? or does the rest of the world get a mention anywhere ??

If it is, then whats the agenda ?

This 'letter' has been doing the internet rounds for a long time now, and it changes slightly depending on which country it comes out of at the time.

its funny that it does make you wonder? 6 italian soldiers killed yesterday, last year french soldiers 10 killed and 22 wounded in one attack on one day yet it only seems to be british and american forces that really hit the news,maybe the agenda is that while we are thinking about the british soldiers being killed we wont think to much about the real reasons behind us being out there.or the release of the poor lockerbie bomber whos going to die of ill health not the poor people on the plane who died,but i suppose the new trade aggrements with libya and all those nice oil reserves will soften the blow.
