p.s. To prevent a bunch of future apologies, I was being sarcastic.

Haha, I think we all know you are joking lemit. :-)

I apologize for my origional post, I was a little wound up over something else and that post was the result.

I care about all life, yes even those in the middle east, but when people discuss the Twin Towers Incedent as some sort of horrific huge body count once-in-a-lifetime horror that caps all others, I just get pissed off. Yes it was a horrible tragity and many people lost their lives. But if you look around, each year the flu kills around 9,000 people, homeless people dont have anyone to turn to when they need medical care, thousands die on the streets every year, drunk driving and reckless driving has killed so many more, and our collective punishment on Iraqi cities has killed thousands of civilians all to find terrorists who live in a hole in the middle of nowhere and have been portrayed by the US government and the media to look like huge threats to the "free" world, it just makes me upset. I think its changed, and our army are the terrorists. WE are the evil invaders who want nothing more than to kill.
In some places in Iraq they dont have enough food to eat, and even running water. If you think that Iraq and Afganistan is a threat to the US, I just cannot agree. Sure there are some terrorist cells that have hijacked planes and killed people, but you cannot associate them with any country. Its like associating the MOVE orgaization with America(or another organization, just pick one), sure they might live here but they do not speak for us, or anything like that. And the terrorist cells dont even live in Iraq! We went in on false pretenses, fought people who were not there, and worded it in such a way that most of America supports the governments decision!
