A glorious Easter weekend to you, Emily and Taffy-the-dog. Thank-you for all that you do here on FR. It is so wonderful to have links at hand instead of having to serch for them.

Thanks for the kind words- Emily has a 4-day weekend, so "we" are finding lots to do in the yard and around the house...

GD - we can only hope and pray. But it takes each of us making a commitment to educate as many as we can. I gave a handout of the article above from the Toronto Sun News to somebody who keeps saying - "Yeah, but where are the WMD? If they don't find em, it's over for Bush".

I keep saying - how can you possibly say that when we have stopped evil as bad or worse than Hitler's Nazi Germany. "Their answer - yeah, but there are many nations with governments harming their people." My answer - but, we have stopped THIS ONE BUTCHER, this ONE HITLER, while along with that stopping one source of Terrorist supplies, funding, and training, if not directing (I think directing).

I then gave them the article from this thread and showed them the pictures of the mass graves and the bones and explained what they were seeing.

Finally - finally - no response. Silence. I said - read this article if you can stomach it...and never again question whether or not we were right to do what has been done.

Do you know the common denominator among people in this country who continue to be blind and deaf about the tremendous greatness of our destruction of the Saddam evil?

WITHOUT FAIL THEY LISTEN TO NPR.

The great outrage should be that our tax dollars go to funding anti-American propaganda which brings blindness and deafness by the tonloads all across this nation.

How can we stop NPR?
