Groups of extremists have been blowing crowds of people up for years - long before the current U.S. administration took office.

Like I said, I am not going to debate the war in Iraq.

LilacDragon

<t>Without going into whether or not I agree with the war in Iraq, let me say this... A majority of civilian casualties are caused by insurgents. Insurgents use women, children and the mentally handicapped to walk bombs into places of worship, market places and anywhere else a large group...

I don't know how I missed the OP on this. Sorry to be so late.

I know exactly how you feel and I think you are doing GREAT.

My husband just arrived "over there" for his second tour.

I will add your son to my nightly prayers.

LilacDragon

Suicide bombers driving cars that have been turned into bombs and men, women, and now the mentally handicapped walk into crowds with bombs strapped to their bodies and blow themselves up.

<t>Seems to me that this enforces the thought by some that GW was looking for an excuse to go into Iraq before 9/11. There was never any evidence to support rumors that Al Queida (or any other terrorist group) used Iraq for training. Syria, on the other hand, is a whole other story. But t...

Wonder what kind of job he thinks he is going to get?

How about this - we can start taking DNA from infants as they are born, inject one of those equally controversial GPS tracking chips in them at the same time and do away with police departments as we know them!

LilacDragon

Cute pup.

I must say though - I am rather flabergasted that it was removed from the litter before it was even fully weaned. And disappointed that it will miss out on learning so very many life lessons from both it's mother and it's litter mates.
