Reply #51: i don't think it's the pot or the kettle [View All]

i get your point, but disagree. yes, i know that the bush administration policies and false war based on lies has indeed brought the wrath of many upon the US.

but when i see the pictures of any of the soldiers who have died in iraq it makes me sad - it hurts a place deep in my "mother's heart." christ, they were just kids! no matter what the so-called USA did, these kids did not deserve what happened to them. no more than the multitudes of dead iraqi's deserved what happened to them.

i don't think any of us know what we would really think or do if we "were an iraqi insurgent." i'd like to hope that, if i were an iraqi instead of an american, i would still think and feel as i do - that any life lost in a war was a stupid loss, and that every single life lost deserves mourning.

the "WE" you talk about is not me, nor do i think it is most people designated as americans due to the lines drawn on the maps.

i hope that you never have to rain down on your enemies whatever shit has been rained down on you. whatever that means.
