My heart goes out to these troops, they're fighting a brutal and senseless war - and here's some food for thought: Does anyone ever wonder why none - I repeat NONE - of the children/grandchildren of any Senator or Congressman are fighting over there? One or two may have enlisted, but not for combat. Not one. Anyone curious about if and when the Bush twins will be getting sent over there? I thought this war was THAT important. Or do their lives rate more preferential treatment than anyone else's son/daughter's? Oh, and George is taking SSRIs, just so we can stay on topic ;->
> Some of you may have seen or heard of this. If not, I think this is a very worthwhile cause no matter your political bent or personal feelings about Iraq. I think we can all say we support the soldiers. Therefore, I highly encourage you to take a look at the link below. It is a way of supporting the troops directly and I think it is just a wonderful cause. Take a little time or maybe a little money and it can make a difference in these brave men and women's lives. It is tax-deductible I believe. Regardless, it is worth it. Please forward this to as many people as you can and encourage them to do the same.
