US infantry Co remembers 9-11 shot from air

Marc -

While I almost always agree with your well-considered posts, here I must
strongly disagree. The troops of Baker Company, and their cohorts, have put
their lives upon the line to protect us and our way of life, while we enjoy
comforts they cannot even imagine. Many Americans seem to think that they
have no part in defending themselves, just let someone else do it.

Although you may consider mention of "9-11". etc., to be political, we have
been attacked. When under attack we must respond. If discussion of this is
inappropriate to this forum, then so is much of what has preceded.

My honest response is that I consider any post that mentions "Iraq",
"victims of
9-11" and "avenging the deaths" to be inherently political. I have no
doubt
this was a heart-felt tribute on the part of Baker Company, but the manner
of
its presentation here happened to anger me this morning. So be it. If no
one
posts any political pointers to tributes, I won't post any political
responses.
Back to soaring...

Dear Ed:

I certainly support our troops and I would like to bring them home safe.
However, if you want to "avenge (ing) the deaths of the victims of the twin
tower terrorists" you should be in Saudi Arabia not Iraq. "President" Bush has
publicly stated that Iraq played no part in 9/11 whereas 15 of 19 terrorist
were from Saudi Arabia and 28 pages of the independent commission's report on
9/11 detailing the Saudi connections to 9/11 were blackout out by the White
House. In addition the case for war is coming apart at the seems. No WMD's.

A well known Senator has stated that Bush's reason for war with Iraq is
tantamount to fraud. When attached respond to the attachers, hence
Afghanistan. Where is Osma, not Iraq. In fact that was a country that was
non-secular and now women are being attached for not wearing Islamic clothing.
It is possible we just helped to make another fundamentalist country who will
hate all that is not Islamic.

Want to get back to soaring and take this discussion off line?

Well, said Ed! And I know I feel safer now that was have found and destroyed
all those WMD that were an imminent threat to "our way of life". We have
toppled Osma Hussian who supplied the murders for the airplanes and so far it
has only cost a mere 79 billion, well actually a a little more with the added
87 billion and more to come. But we have made our world safer, haven't we? We
have strengthened our ties with our European allies and we have shown we are a
responsible memember of the world community.
