Iraq

I have a friend who is shipping out to Iraq this week. He is risking his life to keep schlubs like me safe. This is not pro-war propaganda. On 9/11 all the people who died were regular joes who only wanted to go to their jobs or travel somewhere. This is the lesson we have to carry with us: Our enemies (and Saddam was one) know they can't defeat our military, so they will go after the everyday American slob like me. The people in our military put their lives on the line every day to keep us alive.

In another matter, there's something fishy about that woman in Jordan who says she tried to bomb the hotel with her husband. If she was there, why isn't she dead, or at least wounded? Why did she still have her bomb on a day later? Certainly the soldiers and police and camera crew there in the room with her knew it could still go off. Why didn't they take it off her and disarm it? Something's just not right here.
