We were attacked in our homeland on 9-11. People seem to forget that. It wasn't something I asked for, nor was this war something I asked for. No one asked my opinion, before either event.

War is not fun. It is not pleasant. It is not a picnic. How do you begin to fight someone who would strap a suicide vest on a child? What kind of mentality is that? What kind of cowards hide in a Mosque, and fire on troops when they know they won't shoot back? Or hide in a school full of children...or a hospital? Nothing seems to be beneath them.

I lived thru the Nam era. My brother and several good friends were . We lost several friends. Family friends...one was in the Bataan Death March. My Dad fought in WWII. His father was a soldier before him. My list of family soldiers goes on and on...including my hubby and a son.

War is horrible. I KNOW this.

I am not a debater. I never learned the 'art'. To me it is like fighting or arguing, and I hate that. I always have.

All I can say is...if water boarding saves lives, then I am for it.

God Bless America and our troops.

Have a Happy and safe 4th everyone.

This ole hide (as my cuz lovingly calls me) is off to pedal her ass. (that's what my hubby calls riding my bike).
