A steakhouse and a soldier's wife

[WayneB]

You know, if I was in this ladies situation I might feel much like her and I thought it was rather touching how the others had compassion and understanding for her. I just thought it worth bearing out that the emotional and patriotic response doesn't necessarily mean something is right or wrong. Of course, we can all sympathise with the woman's feelings given the situation. Anyway, nuff said!

On this, I agree Smash! (Did the earth just shake? )

I for one appreciate your effort in this post Smash. War, politics...geez, what a mess, which is why the Word tells us that we live in a fallen state. I just look forward to perfection...His Perfection, which was promised to all those who have placed their Trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

Bless you brother,

Wayne

"Well, I, for one, think it's just deplorable to invade Iraq, and I am certainly sick of our tax dollars going to train professional baby killers we call a military."

I bet those ladies have no problem with the "professional baby killers" called abortionists who tear babies apart or scald them to death with salt in their mother's wombs! That sort of baby killing is "a woman's right to choose"!

Again, this does nothing towards justifying the war, and as far as I know, the American government and the courts have made it possible for people to have legal abortions so you can't blame the people without it coming back on the government and the nation.

Amen, 'Smash.

The US Gov't made it legal and that needs to change, but it still doesn't make it right. Pres. Bush is trying to change that.

Personal lapses in reason cannot be blamed on the Gov't, though.

Yup, we sometimes forget that "We the people" make up the government. We must all take the responsibility...humanity is lost, drifting like reeds in the wind. Only God can make it right again...and He will in His time.

I only came back to look at this because it was a thread I started and I was curious as to why the convo was progressing.

But this brought to mind a conversation I had with some others about attitudes and such.

Someone made an interesting observation. The people who are like this - anti-war, anti-Bush, pro-abortion, etc. are filled with such an enormous hatred. I mean, like the way these ladies spoke - dripping hatred.

I had responded,"But conseratives didn't speak all that great about Clinton, either."

The response, "Yes, but it's not the same."

I thought about that, and I think I understand.

As I read the words of these women, I recall likewise words spoken by those around me, and yes, there is a spirit of hatred there. One would think as they speak they are on the verge of ripping the man's eyes out if they could.

I don't know - kind of hard to agree with the war protesting side with such fruit being grown and partaken over there.

Just my feelings.

I was neither defending or attacking the war - just pointing out the hypocrisy of people who opposed the war supporting abortion. A lot more children are killed EVERY YEAR (40 million worldwide at the very least) than have been killed in the Iraq war. In fact more lives are lost through abortion than have been killed in Iraq both civilians and soldiers on both sides. If those ladies are so concerned about babykilling they should object to abortion and the REAL "professional baby killers" the abortionists!!!

Iagree. While not all peace campaigners are hateful quite a few of them are. For people who claim to love peace they sure don't seem very peaceful.

Well, it seems you are trying to say that their views don't count because probably they support abortion. Show me one thing in that story that shows they support abortion. It doesn't exist so therefore it is speculation and conjecture only, you could easily be wrong about that. I think their view does matter and that in a democracy they should be able to speak their mind without fear of harassment or thought police. They had every right in the world to express their opinion. And don't forget, the Iraq war has been going on ever since the first gulf war, it has never stopped for over 12 years and it is estimated that hundreds of thousands of Iraqi children have died from preventable conditions as a direct result of American led sanctions, not to mention the ones that have died from actual war and left over munitions and the wounded and maimed from unexploded cluster bomb packets or the cancers from depleted uranium. All tolled the actual death toll from the ongoing war against Iraq is probably nearing or over the 2 million mark, much more carnage than Saddam ever committed against the Iraqi people, whether Kurd or Shia. Then you try to say that these people have no right to criticize, .... please give me a break! To mistake anger over unjust actions as hatred is extremely short sighted. At least theirs is a war of words and not guns.
