Absolutely true! Thank you for this wonderful forum. We have accomplished many tasks throughout our history and we still hava much to do. Unfortunately these tasks are more complicated than ever. Our enemy hides behind women and children and I certainly sympathize with our troops with the difficult tasks to determine "friend or foe". I continue to pray for our troops in Iraq and elsewhere.

Too many people die for some one else's ideals! It is not the starters of war who die. I don't see the President laying his life on the line for the current useless war and he won't even finish it up. We are no where near the objective in Afghanistan. Again I do not see any of the Political whoisits over their risking their lives for some trumped up cause. Kate

Dave, I agree with you totally. God Bless America! Though I was born in England, & now have lived here in America for only 3 years. I have come to love this land & all it stands for. Most of Europe, would look a lot different if it had not been for the UK & USA Australia, Canada & New Zealand, India & the resistance in Norway, France & Spain in WW11 Us, who are not so young anymore, remember in vivid detail what sacrifices the Countries of the free world made. It's just a shame that the real history is not taught to children of Europe today, but thankfully it still is here in America. We should never forget what those brave men gave up for us to live the life we do today. Your security friend in Las Vegas.

Hello my friends and thank you for your replies. It is important to remember that it is a LEADER'S responsibility and DUTY to stay out of the line of fire to lead his troops. It is wrong for a leader to put himself in danger and leave his troops leaderless. Kate, you are right in saying that too many people die. However they are not dying for someone else's ideals, but the American soldiers who are dying over there are HEROES who joined up because of THEIR ideals to protect freedom and life all over the world, including the U.S.A. I guess it all comes down to this: If you are walking down the street and you see someone beating up a helpless victim, do you look the other way, cross the street, slink off and hope it doesn't happen to you, or do you risk it all to try to save them? Is it really living to look out only for number one? I don't think so. God bless, Dave

Amen, Anthony! History is our window to the past and our way of understanding what is happening now. God bless, Dave
