Kevin,

I wouldn't have pity on George's nephew for serving. I HONOR him and his bravery for standing for what he believes in. If , God forbid, something happened to him over their he should be honored as a hero. I'm sure that his family is very proud of him. Please don't forget that these brave men and women that serve give all of us the right to say what we want in this forum. For that, again I thank them.
I think the old saying " Take a stand for something or you'll fall for anything" really kills you LIBS! Diplomacy seems like it doesn't really work with terrorist nations. How do you reason with a person who doesn't really care if they live or die, I mean for crying out loud, they're waiting for their 20 virgins. Or whatever the koran tells them they get. That's the other myth, that islam is a peaceful religion. It is not! It preaches intolerance of any other religion. Anyway, my vent. George, I will pray for your nephew and his safe return, we're proud of him down here in Florida.
