Hello Bob, you have my full sympathy for your son. As I express also in my last email I know that Saddam has commited an endless row of crimes and should be punished for this. But why has it to be by a war were thousands of people have to die or are injured who have nothing to do with this crimes. Indeed your son is one of them. In this case there was no need for a war. There are many more of these dictators in the world. Some of them are called friends of the USA. I think even last week Bush shook the hand of one in Africa.
I hope that after all these victims in Iraq the land will make the same good way as Germany did after WWII. Then the wounds of your son might be indeed not in vain. That stands in the hands of God. But it is also my meaning that war is not the way to bring peace and freedom in the world. Indeed freedom is not for free. It cost each of us some struggle. Gods says: The truth will make you free. Not the weapons. Best regards, Hans. --- "Bob Blakely" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Forgive me for going off here. This pisses me off. > >It's not about anything as trivial as vengeance, dumbshit.
