Much as the UN DEBATED AND WRUNG ITS HANDS whilst nearly a million Rwandans were senselessly slaughtered.

A bunch of self indulgent unimportant fools.

Thanks Sassy I appreciate the good thoughts.

Does anyone? Do you?

Rude, very rude.

Ok, well I must ask, did you read what she said?

i dont know how that question is in any
way relevant, because once again, I am just re-innerating.

Reading comprehension and context seem to be "issues" with you, ain't they little feller?

Wednesday's point is a matter of perspective or as you so succintly put it, "re-it-er-at-ing". And for the record, this is the last time I will explain things to you.

Thanks? That was her perspective indeed, and so was the poem that i posted, it was that persons perspective, who ever it was, so she should have respected that too. That poem was not written by me, I just posted it. As for the soldier issue, i have nothing against them, so I dont see what the problem is. This is the LAST TIME YOUR GOING TO CORRECT ME?!!!!! I think I'll live :)

My Son is over there. Supporting your hand wringing butts (not all of you are hand wringing). He's over there because he believes that we are our Brothers keeper and looking the other way not only lacks honour, but courage.

I support War in Afghanistan, until the enemy has been defeated, period. I'd say I've got as much on the line as any other family whose child Brother Father Sister or Mother has taken the hard road.

I hold a vigil for his return every day and when he does I will be in the presence of something the detractors lack. Integrity!

Proud to have served my Country. Prouder still that my Son has heeded the call.

Well though I support a slightly altered mission in Afghanistan, I still believe our troops and any nation who is there have the potental to turn that nation around. I do hope your son comes out of this war alright.

At the very end of the post (which were apparently someone else's words), you asked us for our thoughts.

I gave you mine.

You gave me yours:

As for you, that first post was simply written by somebody else, I was just sharing it. Furthermore, if you have a problem with it, then dont post in the thread, because you obviously do not understand what was written.

What I wrote could not have been more clear.

Not up for rebuttal? Don't ask for it.

We all have access to all threads - that is how forums work yes?

RE: Peacekeeping vs War--

Ultimately the government of the day has the right to make the decision on military operations, if they change their minds (which politicians are prone to doing) then the military usually change theirs also.

what some don't seem to be able to grasp, is the servicemen and women on the ground don't have a say in the decision making process, theyre there doing their job, and getting paid to put their lives on the line. ...and remember that the Government puts them there.

Just remember what happened in vietnam. noone needed to take out their anger and anti-war protests out on the servicemen, they were doing their job, and they saw things they knew were unjustifiable. Remember the governments put those servicemen and women there, there are no choices for personnel.

So direct your debate and anger to the government or your local federal member, don't disgrace yourself by brandishing tyour personal sword of shame on the people who serve your country. For those who serve to protect others are far more noble than those who sit on their arse and whinge.

We all have access to all threads - that is how forums work yes?

First of all, as you said, I asked for a response on what I posted, which I didnt write, as I indicated at the bottom of the post as I wrote who it was by.

I asked what your thoughts were on that specific piece of work and you took it to another step by asking me questions as if I wrote it.
Families who have military in Afganistan read forums - or do you care?

...Plenty of time after the Canadian Military are back at home base for a discussion like this to take place - if you care about the men and women serving that is.


This was merely a response to what was written but it was simply a presumption that I wrote that poem. You said for me to "tuck it in", and then you asked me whether people in Afghanistan read the forums, and everything was pointed towards me, not towards the poem, which I asked for your thoughts on. I do not need or never have asked for your personal opinions on ME. The poem was not written by me. You did not give thoughts on the poem, you just started to ask irrelevant questions, and tell me to "tuck it in".

Last time I checked, the forum was for posting, which I did, and if everyone was to "tuck it in" there would be no discussion or debate would there? Thats not how a forum works is it?

Well I suppose I'd qualifiy as a pacifist.... what is my role in society? Maybe not a whole lot of value to one who doesn't share my ideals... but one of mine is to hold in great honour anyone who feels strongly enough in my right to be a pacifist to fight for it... an irony that I clearly benefit from, but it's true. One of the ways in which I try to show my appreciation for the right to be a pacificist is to do no harm to others. Is this of value to anyone? Maybe just to me.... but make no mistake I DO value it, knowing full well a heavy price was paid for it. I pray for the safe return of all sons and daughters.

RE: Peacekeeping vs War--

As we all do Zan. Noone wants to lose a loved one in peacetime or in war.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them

Lest We Forget.

The price of liberty, is eternal vigilance

While our ideals are ideologically different I do appreciate the kind word and the balance of your viewpoint.
