Letter to the editor: I don't care!
Got this via email, Originally written by a housewife in New Brunswick and posted in a newspaper.
Packs a good punch, I agree with everything she says (except for the Jesus and bible parts)...of course
Quote:
"Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was
it or was it not, started by Islamic people who
brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001
and have continually threatened to do so since?
Were people from all over the world, not brutally murdered
that day, in downtown Manhattan , across the Potomac from
the capitol of the USA and in a field in Pennsylvania ?
Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?
Do you think I care about four U. S. Marines urinating on some dead Taliban insurgents?
And I'm supposed to care that a few Taliban were
claiming to be tortured by a justice system of a
nation they are fighting against in a brutal Insurgency.
I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle
East, start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere belief
of which, is a crime punishable by beheading in Afghanistan .
I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are
sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head, while Berg
screamed through his gurgling slashed throat.
I'll care when the cowardly so-called insurgents
in Afghanistan , come out and fight like men,
instead of disrespecting their own religion by
hiding in Mosques and behind women and children.
I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow
themselves up in search of Nirvana, care about the
innocent children within range of their suicide Bombs.
I'll care when the Canadian media stops pretending that
their freedom of Speech on stories, is more important than
the lives of the soldiers on the ground or their families waiting
at home, to hear about them when something happens.
In the meantime, when I hear a story about a
CANADIAN soldier roughing up an Insurgent
terrorist to obtain information, know this:
I don't care.
When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the
head when he is told not to move because he
might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank:
I don't care. Shoot him again.
When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed 'special' food, that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being 'mishandled,' you can absolutely believe, in your heart of hearts:
I don't care.
And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes
it's spelled 'Koran' and other times 'Quran.'
Well, Jimmy Crack Corn you guessed it.
I don't care!!
If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to
all your E-mail Friends. Sooner or later, it'll get to
the people responsible for this ridiculous behavior!
If you don't agree, then by all means hit the delete
button. Should you choose the latter, then please don't
complain when more atrocities committed by radical
Muslims happen here in our great Country! And may I add:
Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering, if
during their life on earth, they made a difference in
the world. But, the Soldiers don't have that problem.
I have another quote that I would like to
share AND...I hope you forward All this.
One last thought for the day:
Only five defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
1. Jesus Christ
2. The British Soldier.
3. The Canadian Soldier.
4. The US Soldier, and
5. The Australian Soldier
One died for your soul,
the other four, for you and your children's Freedom.

This letter has been attributed to many housewives in the wetern world and has since been disproved by Snopes. It was actually penned by a journalist in Nebraska back in 2005.

Somebody wrote that piece, and that somebody is an idiot.

Sorry...I find that letter distasteful, hateful, bigoted and full of Christian rhetoric.
I DO care that we are not raised to believe we are some backwoods hick country that can do the same things that some backwoods hick "group of people" get away with.
If the media in the countries these terrorists are from or currently live in was "free" to raise awareness in the same way we have it, I'm sure they would have a very difficult time getting people to join their "cause".
"I DO CARE"

The truly hilarious thing about this "letter" is that it basically boils down to "I hate people who aren't like me, praise Jesus".
You just can't get more Christian than that.

So you don't agree with anything then.
That whole letter was about Christianity, Jesus, and the bible.

I find it funny that this letter is applauding all the actions undertaken by governments which have compounded the effectiveness of 9/11. Terrorists wanted to alter our way of life and the government helped them achieve it ... lets all clap.

That's an astounding amount of ignorance concentrated in a single email.
Loved this part:

I didn't realize our troops were fighting Buddhists!

ha ha, I love forwarded story emails... Don't people realize that every single "story" email that has ever been forwarded in history is fake?? While the story behind this one is moderately believable, its amazing how many ludicrous emails people will forward thinking they are legitimate...or the story behind them. Thanks to the moms of the world, these things are allowed to circulate.
no, a 9 year old didn't accidentally fall into the Niagara falls and survive by remaining afloat with the help of a group of ducks
no, billy graham didn't preach a sermon atop the CN tower
no, a US solider in Iraq didn't come face to face in a knife battle with an Iraqi insurgent that happened to be a former University classmate, resulting in a hug-out and a 3 hour heart to heart which ended in the insurgent laying down his arms and giving his life to Christ
edit: No offense to the OP though- cause I don't think he/she is necessary interested in it supposedly coming from a housewife as much as he just agrees with some of the content- regardless of who wrote it.
