This is a new perspective.
Found this by accident. What do you think about what you see. Check out the cartoons.

Mike and I ran across this last night while we were researching something. Really check out the cartoons - there are several of them. The cartoon section toward the bottom, click on it and you will see others at the bottom of the new window.
They are very anti-American. I was shocked to see those cartoons that supposedly represent the majority of Iraqi's true feelings about America.
Boy, I don't know how to put this without stepping on toes (Mike, I saw your post about voting Bush vs Kerry).
Dh was in the navy and studies other countries and their religions.
I'm not sure that many Americans understand how hated we are in some countries. That's where I think this war comes into alot of controversy.
I am one that believes we did the right thing, I do not care if they found WMD. How many more times would 9/11 have to happen before some people realized we had to do something about it. There are always two sides and innocent victims.
I do not want or like war. But I do believe America has to stand up for itself, and I truly believe that terrorism is not over and it does scare me.
I'm so thankful for our military and our country.
I was also shocked at the cartoons Amy. But I bet the stories that these soldiers tell are even more shocking
This is just my opinion. Maybe it's because I lived beside Site R, Camp David, Ft. Ritchie all my life. Maybe it's because I have had family that were in the military and wars. 9/11 hit too close to home. If American didn't do anything about it, I wouldn't feel as secure (living in America) as I do today.
Well said Marg!
