[.:PROZAC:..]

It's clear how you feel about the US invasion and occupation of Iraq. So undoubtedly any picture that is circulated about the courage and humanity that either side treats the innocents with will seem to be propaganda.
But you know what, he's actually helping a young boy in war. There are many others like this that only seem to have circulated by email of soliders spending nights holding in their arms children that were hurt in attacks.
More than likely they would have been hurt by fire from the US but why aren't you crying when their own people use them as shields. I don't suppport the war and its conseuqences but you have to open your heart.
So we can agree to disagree but I commend the men that remain men when the other side just wants to take their lives.

[Razkal]

^these men don't choose war, they are chosen to fight someone else's war.

men like this:


move around these guys like pawns on a chess board (eg, from iraq to afghan)

and then win Nobel Peace Prizes....

Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings.. Thank you, Lord, that I can hear. There are many who are deaf.

Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light as long as possible.
Thank you, Lord, That I can see. Many are blind.

Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising. Thank you, Lord, that I have strength to rise. There are many who are bedridden.

Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks are lost, toast is burned, tempers are short, and my children are so loud. Thank you, Lord, for my family. There are many who are lonely.

Even though our breakfast table never looks like the picture in magazines and the menu is at times unbalanced. Thank you, Lord, for the food we have. There are many who are hungry.

Even though the routine of my job often is monotonous. Thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to work. There are many who have no job

Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day and wish my circumstances were not so modest. Thank you, Lord, for life.



always be grateful for what you have, no matter how little. there are those that have nothing

~*Pãñdorą*~, this is one of the best threads I've seen on the forum, very touching and enlightening as to the times we live in, thanks for sharing.

[~*Pãñdorą*~]

2 d Max Auto, You're welcome..
I just wanted to make sure people know what goes on out ther and yes while we have it bad in Trinidad, And while you think you've got it bad, there is always someone out there who has it worse than you.

Keep this in mind always and your resulting humility will make you a happy person.
