I don’t know about you, but I am getting sick and tired of countries not helping the United States of America. First off France still pisses me off. I figure out of several nations that we liberated, they should be the most grateful. Then there is Spain giving in to this garbage of threats and not standing behind us. It would be nice to get a few nations standing beside us, but I guess they would either stand behind or just run away all together. Now let me start in on the latest country to cower and run. The PHILLIPINES! I get sick and tired of countries always bowing down to this kind of stuff. If they countries would give in so easy we would have history like World War one and two. Where our grand fathers and great grand fathers went and liberated countries from enemy forces. I mean this is how things start. Countries like the Philippines in WWII, who fought the Japanese. The first day of the invasion, almost the entire 4th Battalion USMC lost their lives. Outnumbered about 6 to 1 by the Japanese they stayed to protect a foreign soil from an invader, most giving up their life. If the United States had adopted the attitude of the rest of the world, we would definitely be a three-currency world. You would have the German mark, the Japanese yen and the English Dollar. But we have different cultures and beliefs because we had the balls to stand up. In my opinion, any country that doesn’t want to support the US in its role of peacekeeping should loose all ties and aid from us. Let them see how long they have their way of life with out either the military aid or the financial aid from the United States.

14 Jul 2004 - Have to Love this guy
|
Love This Comeback! you may know, one of my sons serves in the
military. He is still stateside, here in California. He called me
yesterday
to let
me know how warm and welcoming people were to him, and his troops,
everywhere he goes, telling me how people shake their hands, and thank
them
for being willing to serve, and fight, for not only our own freedoms
but so
that others may have them also.
But he also told me about an incident in the grocery store he
stopped at yesterday, on his way home from the base. He said that ahead
of several people in front of him stood a woman dressed in a burkha. He
said when she got to the cashier she loudly remarked about the US flag
lapel
pin the cashier wore on her smock.
The cashier reached up and touched the pin, and said proudly,
"yes, I always wear it and I probably always will."
The woman in the burkha then asked the cashier when she was
going to stop bombing her countrymen, explaining that she was Iraqi.
A gentleman standing behind my son stepped forward, putting
his arm around my son's shoulders, and nodding towards my son, said in
a
calm and gentle voice to the Iraqi woman: "Lady, hundreds of thousands
of
men and women like this young man have fought and died so that YOU
could
stand here, in MY country and accuse a check-out cashier of bombing
YOUR
countrymen. It is my belief that had you been this outspoken in YOUR
own
country, we wouldn't need to be there today. But, hey, if you have now
learned how to speak out so loudly and clearly, I'll gladly buy you a
ticket and pay your way back to Iraq so you can straighten out the mess
in
YOUR country that you are obviously here in MY country to avoid."
Everyone within hearing distance cheered.
