    I don't think this war should be going on and I'm going to leave it at that, because I have soo many points on it.

    What about your children?

    do you want them to grow up knowing america rolled over when over 3000 died in the 9/11 bombings?

    we may all die but i'll never let my future kids know that my country is ruled by some sissy.

    who thinks it's better to sit this next fight out, instead of saddling up and riding out to meet the threat.

    stand for democracy. stand for the man elected, even if he is an "idiot". i beg you to help him. he needs our prayers least of all.

    What are you talking about? America did roll over after 9/11. Saddam was not behind 9/11, Bin Laden was and proudly admits it. Why hasn't he been found in his little hole? Standing behind someone purely because he was elected is not what freedom and democracy is about. It amazes me how you want to preach about the freedom that is fought for but then you want to deny the people of your own country their freedoms. He does not need my prayers, the people need my prayers and my fellow peoples are all I care about. Not some man who was wrong, but cant admit it. That is not strength or reason. If you want to meet a threat stroll your butt into Afghanistan, where this fight should have been all along.

    First of all i'll go to afghanistan when you do, which is probably never. oh and "he who does not learn from history is bound to repeat it." you can shout till you're blue in the face with your worldly soaked mind but i still believe in the spirit of 76 which you probably don't even know about. great men preceded me and did good and i owe them something oh and so do you but you just flip up your middle finger to presidents, governments, and even God. just sit down sweetie and talk when you have something positive to say

    Oh and before you yell that i'm not giving you your "constitutional right" just remember that most people on this thread who pleaded that also called people morons and idiots and bashed them to the floor without giving THEM their say

    Sweetness I have probably seen more horror in my years of teaching in Africa than you have in your life. JUst because I dont support Bush does not mean that I dont support my country. My country is not Bush.

    When most teens and uninformed and judgmental adults bash the man someone has to defend him. i might not agree with him but bless God we could have a hitler who killed all minorities except for blond haired blue eyed master race people. or live in stalin's russia where he had over 25 million people killed. or we could live in an ancient rome where if you had a certain faith you were sent to the lions.

    Oh by the by what is the spirit of 76? if you can give me a clear good explanation then i will sit down and let you argue and debate all you want

    Lol Just a little tidbit of info, I dont nee dyou to let me say anything, I may say and believe whatever I wish, no matter how much that bothers you. Us breaking free from the British empire has nothing to do with a discussion about Iraq. No matter what you say it wont change the FACT that bush lied and Bin Laden is the one responsible for 9/11.

    Sorry sweetie you are not the centre of the universe and I was answering my messages.

    History repeats itself genius. oh and ignorance isn't bliss so you might want to get some knowledge, or should i say wisdom because you're pretty foolish if you want to prove who's smarter, because i'll win. maybe if YOU did something in school besides mess around in your day then we might not even have a man like bush for president, maybe someone better. your generation shaped ours, so you made the monster that is me, congrats

    My personal feelings on the whole is that the war is dragging on. bush may be wrong. but are we gonna create more problems, or are we gonna solve the ones in front of us?

    No, the thing is we have the guts to stand behind an idea or an ideal. you don't stand for anything, you tear everything up and impose your idea of a perfect world. okay little miss president what is your course of action and how would you stop terrorism from coming over here?

    And your name calling shows yours hypocrite. oh and that's truth not name calling. how dare you say not to call names when you do it freely. i volunteer on bus routes for kids, in youth service centers, and in nursing homes. you're just a no account ignorant adult. you have to bash something or blame something to feel better. i feel sorry for you, you must have a sad life. your "the world is ending because bush is a moron" speech won't faze my countenace

    Oh and i'm graduating in 4 weeks. "don't blame me for living" i can only imagine your definition for that. hey last time i checked God was the great avenger not you. get off your bully pulpit and join us on the ground. so you are the most righteous eh? or at least that's what type of picture you're painting for yourself. why don't you run for president. but you won't because the government is out to get you right

    Haven't you ever once thought outside what the world and media and popular idea wants you to? i say bush is a good man and God bless him for an eternity. what do you care, he'll be out of office for good in a few months due to the 25th amendment. but you didn't know that did you? apparently i'm not so ignorant madam president. i'm gonna call you that because obviously you know more than our president. or should i call you the most righteous? or the most high?

    You're three years older than me, that ain't much

    I have layed down several arguments, you have merely called bush a jackass, moron, and an idiot. i have laid down biblical principles and history standpoints, you just slandered. you aren't worth it. man for such an ignorant teen i did way better on a debate standpoint than all of you did. anyone can tear a man down, but who can build him up as he should. you can rip on me and my beliefs all you want but i say bless george bush and no matter how hard you blow your hot air you cannot move the mountain of my heart and soul

    Bless the president and bless the country and bless the God behind it. i respect your ideas and i respect your wills to defend them but i shall not be moved. the die is cast, cross the rubicon, draw a line in the sand, for the insults and bickering stop here. respect is not automatically earned by age, but by experience and a respect given in return. God bless you all for your willpower, i wish you the best in your crusade against bush i hope it doesn't backfire in your faces. honestly i do hope all goes well.

    I hate the army. I mean i know that sounds bad but like i'm young and a while back it took my boyfriend away from me and it was very very very hard...almost impossible for him to get out.
    and a lot of my old friends boyfriends were going to the army. idk, i just dont like it. and they lie to you too.
