Pam's letter

Interesting letter my Dad e-mailed me...I hope it's not a repost...

Quote:
WOW . . is this laying it on the line or what?

The lady who wrote this letter is Pam Foster of Pamela Foster and
Associates
in Atlanta. She's been in business since 1980 doing interior design
and
home
planning. She recently wrote a letter to a family member serving in
Iraq....... Read it!


"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?

Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally
murdered
that day, in downtown Manhattan , across the Potomac from our nation's
capitol and in a fie ld in Pennsylvania?

Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible,
burning or
crushing death that day, or didn't they?

And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was "desecrated"
when
an
overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet?
Well, I don't. I don't care at all.

I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents
for
incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.

I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start
caring
about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi
Arabia .

I'll care when Abu Musab al-Zarqawi tells the world he is 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 Iraq come out
and
fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding
in
mosques.

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 American media stops pretending that their First
Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead
of
the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights.


In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up
an

Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care.

When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who havebeen
humiliated in what amounts to a college-hazing incident, rest assured
that 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
that
I
don't care.

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 that 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 and ---- 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.

I am not deleting this, I am sending it on, but only after

I add:


--"Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a
difference
in the world. But, the Marines don't have that problem."
-- Ronald Reagan

No worries. The content is still valid, I get it is the context that was a little off.

I AM YOUR YODA!

I don't care who wrote it, whether the person truly wrote it or not, or whether the context is off or not. I can say that I agree 100 % with every single thing written in that!

Almost all of it here..
*For the record*
Nirvana is a Hindu concept. Hinduism is NOT anything like Islam. The Hindus are hated just as much as we are for not being Muslim enough. Muslim Suicide bombers are trying to get into Heaven to see God, the same one so many of us worship. (Believing in imaginary beings allows us to think they are telling us to do good things like killing infidels, ain't it great!)
