"I challenge you to think for a moment-----would you rather have the military sent to war to defend our American and world freedoms and loose some or would you rather have the war brought home to America with devastation on our own soil"

I would rather take my chances on being killed by a terrorist in the United States, than to send an innocent young soldier to the other side of the world and asking him to risk being killed by people who otherwise would have no quarrel with the United States.

To ask a US soldier to risk his life so that you can avoid the very minute risk of being killed by a terrorist (a smaller risk than you faced driving to work this morning) in the US is the height of cowardice.

I couldn't live with myself if I did such a thing.

MJ, you write, "The quote "Give me liberty or give me death" was a statement by Patrick Henry---a Viginian who served honorably -----"

I'm wondering if you see the clear distinction between "give me liberty or give me death" versus "give THEM liberty or give THEM death?" I do and I'd feel a lot better about sending our soldiers to die there if I saw a few Iraqi Patrick Henrys, but I don't.
