Subject: Why are we there?


read to the end, ok?
Why are we there?

Every day there are news reports about more deaths. Every night on TV there are photos of death and destruction. Why are we still there?

We occupied this land, which we had to take by force, but it causes us nothing but trouble. Why are we still there?

Many of our children go there and never come back. Why are we still there?

Their government is unstable, and they have loopy leadership. Why are we still there?

Many of their people are uncivilized. Why are we still there?

The place is subject to natural disasters, which we are supposed to bail them out of. Why are we still there?

There are more than 1000 religious sects, which we do not understand. Why are we still there?

Their folkways, foods and fads are unfathomable to ordinary Americans. Why are we still there?

We can't even secure the borders. Why are we still there?

They are billions of dollars in debt and it will cost billions more to rebuild, which we can't afford. Why are we still there?

It is becoming clear..


WE MUST PULL OUT OF CALIFORNIA

Oh, thank God. I was afraid Pat was having another one of his "thoughts*," and posted another one of his "thoughtful, intelligent*" posts.

Obviously, I thought it was about Iraq; but since it was posted by you, FS, I figured there was more to it than met the eye. But while reading it, I was thinking to myself "It sounds a hell of a lot like California!" But I dismissed that idea as a humorous coincidence. Once I read the last line, I almost died laughing. Nice one!

Thanks!
