I didn't.) <BR/><BR/>Generally speaking though, I think we're spoiled. We take our rights for granted and assume that our freedom is a given, not something that needs to be protected.<BR/><BR/>I think the thought of losing is incomprehensible to most of us. <BR/><BR/>People, including myself, don't take time to remember that our way of life has come at a tremendous cost. So many Americans have sacrificed so much to ensure our freedom.<BR/><BR/>What a gift we've been given!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09149784619342993569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12507451.post-1124768259849780032005-08-22T23:37:00.000-04:002005-08-22T23:37:00.000-04:00"Sheila" Winston Churchill was called a warmonger ..."Sheila" Winston Churchill was called a warmonger before World War II.

It may be a sin for one Muslim to kill another under certain circumstances, but it is never a sin for a Muslim to kill an infidel. Infidels can and should be killed, enslaved, or taxed into submission at will. Also, Islam has TWO sacred texts. The other, the Hadith or Sunnah, is considered as holy as the Koran and it is there where most of the insanely scary stuff is.<BR/><BR/>Muhammad was illiterate. So, his followers would just walk along behind him and write down everything he said or did on a rock or a palm leaf or anything that was available. If he say most women go to hell, then most women go to hell. If he said women should cover their bodies so they would not tempt men, then that was it. If he took a dump, then every other Muslim in the world was expected to take a dump in the same manner. <BR/><BR/>Muhammad was an anti-Semite, a slave trader, a racist (he called himself white and blacks "raisenheads"), a bandit, a warlord, a pedophile (his youngest wife was 8) a con man and had absolutely no redeeming virtues that I can see. It is most distressing that our leaders seem to be so ignorant about our enemies. That ignorance really could lead to our defeat. Everywhere in the world where there are large groups of Muslims interacting with ANY other religion, there is bloodshed. A few weeks ago, Muslims in southern Thailand said they will kill anyone who works on their holy day, Friday. Britain changed divorce laws for Muslims some years back, sending women's rights back to the 7th century. And on, and on, and on. Muslims CANNOT live in peace with any other culture, so this world war will rage until Islam -- or everyone else -- has been wiped out. <BR/><BR/>That was a long comment.Lone Rangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13278448546799358207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12507451.post-1124729878433744382005-08-22T12:57:00.000-04:002005-08-22T12:57:00.000-04:00Whoa.

It would be more accurate to say that liberals have a different idea about how that war should be fought. A lot of us believe that the Iraq operation is a diversion from the GWOT. If you disagree, that's fine. But to use hateful rhetoric like "liberals hate America" or "liberals want America to lose" serves no purpose. Nobody wants to lose their freedoms. Maybe there are indeed some extremist nutjobs out there who want America to lose the war, but they do not represent liberals. We don't agree that the President's way of fighting the war on terror is the ONLY way to do it.
