OH YEAH THEY HAVE TO PAY

I just saw the tape of the captured GI´s. I feel for them. I pray for them. As a German reservist, I consider all servicemen of all NATO-members as my comrades, regardless of the position of my government in this war. I´m mad as hell when I see these pictures from the US soldiers, I don´t want to see them manipulated by the Iraqi propaganda. The first war I´ve seen was Gulf War I, and I was 9 years old. I still remember that I cried when I heard that captured pilots of shot-down-planes were pulled through the streets of Baghdad with bags on their heads, people spat on them. I was angry and feared for their lives. Still, I think of such acts as one of the most cruel and ashaming acts a hostile nation can do. Today, I remembered that I have a US flag, which is now on my appartements wall, with a small black stripe for those who gave the most they could give for freedom, peace and the security of the western world - their lives. May God bless all coalition forces, and may God protect the entire civilized world!

Thank you, it is good to read your words of support and tribute to the coalition forces.

So when are you going to come here and become an American citizen? (es ist ein witz.)

I applaud your words and comforting thoughts.

thank you. It's nice to remember that not all Germans are against us. In fact, if it weren't for East Germany, Shroeder never would have won... anyway, thank you for your support and please try to be undrestanding if someone badmouths your country.
