The other day, my nine year old son wanted to know why we were at
war...My husband looked at our son and then looked at me. My husband
and I were in the Army during the Gulf War and we would be honored to serve and defend our Country again today. I knew that my husband would give him a good explanation. My husband thought for a few minutes and then told my son to go stand in our front living room window. He said "Son, stand there and tell me what you see?",

"I see trees and cars and our neighbor's houses." he replied.

"OK, now I want you to pretend that our house and our yard is the
United States of America and you are President Bush."

Our son giggled and said "OK."

"Now son, I want you to look out the window and pretend that every
house and yard on this block is a different country" my husband said.

"OK Dad, I'm pretending."

"Now I want you to stand there and look out the window and pretend you see Saddam coming out of his house with his wife, he has her by the hair and is hitting her. You see her bleeding and crying. He hits her in the face, he throws her on the ground, then he starts to kick her to death.
Their children run out and are afraid to stop him, they are screaming and crying, they are watching this but do nothing because they are kids and they are afraid of their father. You see all of this, son....what do you do?"

"Dad?"
"What do you do son?"

"I'd call the police, Dad."

"OK. Pretend that the police are the United Nations. They take your
call. They listen to what you know and saw but they refuse to help.
What do you do then son?"

"Dad.......... but the police are supposed to help!" My son starts to
whine.

"They don't want to son, because they say that it is not their place or your place to get involved and that you should stay out of it," my
husband says.

"But Dad...he killed her!!" my son exclaims.

"I know he did...but the police tell you to stay out of it. Now I want you to look out that window and pretend you see our neighbor who you're pretending is Saddam turn around and do the same thing to his children."

"Daddy...he kills them?"

"Yes son, he does. What do you do?"

"Well, if the police don't want to help, I will go and ask my next door neighbor to help me stop him." our son says.

"Son, our next door neighbor sees what is happening and refuses to get involved as well. He refuses to open the door and help you stop him," my husband says.

"But Dad, I NEED help!!! I can't stop him by myself!!"

"OK, no one wants to help you, the man across the street saw you ask
for help and saw that no one would help you stop him. He stands taller and puffs out his chest. Guess what he does next son?"

"What Daddy?"

"He walks across the street to the old ladies house and breaks down her door and drags her out, steals all her stuff and sets her house on fire and then. he kills her. He turns around and sees you standing in the window and laughs at you. WHAT DO YOU DO?"

WHAT DO YOU DO?" Our son is crying and he looks down and he whispers, "I'd close the blinds, Daddy."

My husband looks at our son with tears in his eyes and asks him. "Why?"

"Because Daddy.....No one will help. I can't do it by myself and I
can't stand to watch, so I'm just going to close the blinds so I can't see what he's doing and pretend it is not happening. "



I start to cry My husband looks at our nine year old son standing in
the window, looking pitiful and ashamed at his answers to my husband's questions and he says...


"Son, open the blinds because that man is at your front door. Now what do you do?



My son looks at his father, anger and defiance in his eyes. He balls up his tiny fists and looks his father square in the eyes, without
hesitation he says: "I DEFEND MY FAMILY DAD!! I'M NOT GOANNA LET HIM
HURT MOMMY OR MY SISTER, DAD!!! I'M GOANNA FIGHT HIM, DAD, I'M GOANNA FIGHT HIM!!!!!"



I see a tear roll down my husband's cheek and he grabs our son to his
chest and hugs him tight, and says... "It's too late to fight him, he's too strong and he's already at YOUR front door son.....you should have stopped him BEFORE he killed his wife, and his children and the old lady across the way. You have to do what's right, even if you have to do it alone, before its too late." my husband whispers.

THAT scenario I just gave you is WHY we are at war with Iraq. When good men stand by and let evil happen son, THAT is the greatest atrocity in the world. "YOU MUST NEVER BE AFRAID TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT! EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO DO IT ALONE!" BE PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN! BE PROUD OF OUR TROOPS!! SUPPORT THEM!!!SUPPORT AMERICA SO THAT IN THE FUTURE OUR CHILDREN AND OUR GRANDCHILDREN WILL NEVER HAVE TO CLOSE THEIR BLINDS..."







This should be printed in every newspaper and posted in every school in America. Of course that won't happen so we'll use the internet. If your blinds are closed do nothing with this email. If they are open I do not need to tell you what to do.



The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who
are evil, but because of the people who do nothing about them".

That put a chill through my soul, brought tears to my eyes, reminded me how PROUD I am to be an AMERICAN, reminded me how PROUD & THANKFUL I am we have BRAVE MEN & WOMEN who so unselfishly defend us and pissed me off to know the libs in our country don't have the guts nor the back bone to stand up for what is right and just!!!

As for the resident libs, if I were you I'd just stay away from this one. :twisted:

Aint it the truth. Listened to parts of President Bushs' news conference this morning while feeding, he is finally sticking up for himself. Then when I came in here at noon, I read the AP story about the news conference and nothing was mentioned about the things he said, only the number of deaths since the war started, the falling polls and the cost to the taxpayers. What happened to the things he said? :???:

stevec, you make me sick. You truly do. You are never going to get it...NEVER, EVER!!


I just read this today: "It's time to get serious about protecting us and our way of life, because it is obvious those who consider our wayof life offensive are entirely serious about editing it."

I just honestly don't understand how a person from this country could see it as different from me as some of these do. It's confusing. They call evil good and good evil or say there is no difference or that one can't really tell one from the other.

Unbelievable. To compare wife beating to a war. To scare a kid. That you spread this to others makes me sad and sorry for you.

George W. Bush didn't invade Iraq because Saddam was a bad man and beat his wife or killed his citizens. George W. Bush invaded Iraq because he said Saddam had WMDs that he could pass on to terrorists that might bring them to the US. That's a fact and it's on the record.

So spin away and send these sorts of disgusting emails to your friends. But they know the truth, too, and many of them are starting to speak out against the war.

dis and steviec are only posting these type of responses because they know it will get a rise out of everybody. They are nothing more than a couple of political hacks that will go against everything this President does and it shouldn't surprise any of you the things they will say. I am convinved they don't believe half of what they post on here, it's just a sad attempt in their lives to be something. They are the minority in this world, and their types will go away soon.

And for those that missed it, this father did not try to "scare a kid" as some would like to think or spin it. If I'm not mistaken the kid wasn't scared at all. Tell me how you can get the kid was scared from this:

"My son looks at his father, anger and defiance in his eyes. He balls up his tiny fists and looks his father square in the eyes, without
hesitation he says: "I DEFEND MY FAMILY DAD!! I'M NOT GOANNA LET HIM
HURT MOMMY OR MY SISTER, DAD!!! I'M GOANNA FIGHT HIM, DAD, I'M GOANNA FIGHT HIM!!!!!"


Now I know for some of the spinless out there this concept is hard to understand, but as a father myself to get that response from my son would be the PROUDEST day of my life.

you are right BBJ, it is THE proudest moment.

Yesterday the Billings Gazette, front page complete with pictures, the coverage of the anti-war demonstration in Billings. You can't tell by the picture how many were there, if you didn't read closely, you would have thought it a big thing. All 15 people in attendance said it was. No bias in the media? :wink:

From that disgusting post:

"OK, no one wants to help you, the man across the street saw you ask

WHAT DO YOU DO?" Our son is crying and he looks dow
n and he whispers, "I'd close the blinds, Daddy."

This is a scary story being told to this kid. He was obviously scared. Shame on the parents; shame on you for spreading it around.

This is a scary story being told to this kid. He was obviously scared. Shame on the parents; shame on you for spreading it around.

I know your only assuming "he was obviously scared" and to you it probably is a "scary" story, but how do you know he is not crying and closes the blinds because he is sad or maybe even angry and disgusted for what is happening? This may come to a shock to you but people cry for different reasons. Scared, happy, sad, angry, proud, disguted, etc. You can ask my older brother about when I cry. When we were younger he'd pick on me, as older brothers sometimes do, but when he saw me get to the point of crying, he KNEW I WAS MAD, CRYING MAD, and thats when the picking would stop because he knew I was about to blow! You assume he's crying out of fear but I interpret his tears to be out of anger and madness, maybe thats because that is how I get when very angry and you interpret it as fear or being scared because thats what happens to you in this type of situation, just speculating here.

Oh and by the way you should put the shame on someone else, I'm not the one spreading it around, I simply gave my opinion on it.

You really do have a difficult time with getting your facts straight dont you? :wink: OH WELL I'LL BE HAPPY TOTAKE THE BLAME FOR THIS STORY! :p
