This was written by a Canadian woman, but oh how it also applies to theU.S., U.K. and Australia
THIS ONE PACKS A FIRM PUNCH
Here is a woman who should run for Prime Minister!Written by a housewife in New Brunswick, to her local newspaper.This is one ticked off lady...
'Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it notstarted by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001and have continually threatened to do so since?
Were people from all over the world, not brutally murdered that day,in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac from the nation's capitol and ina field in Pennsylvania ?
Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible,burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?
And I'm supposed to care that a few Taliban were claiming to betortured by a justice system of the nation they come from and are fightingagainst in a brutal insurgency.
I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repentsfor incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.
I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East startcaring about the Holy Bible, the mere belief of which is a crime punishableby beheading in Afghanistan .
I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for hackingoff Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashedthroat.I'll care when the cowardly so-called 'insurgents' in Afghanistan comeout and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion byhiding in mosques and behind women and children.
I'll care when the mindless zealots who blows themselves up in searchof nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicidebombs.
I'll care when the Canadian media stops pretending that their freedomof speech on stories is more important than the lives of the soldiers onthe ground or their families waiting at home to hear about them when something happens.
In the meantime, when I hear a story about a CANADIAN soldier roughingup an Insurgent terrorist to obtain information, know this:
I don't care.
When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told notto move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank:
I don't care.
When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat,and 'fed special' food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complainingthat his holy book is being 'mishandled,' you can absolutely believe inyour heart of hearts:
I don't care.
And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled 'Koran'and other times 'Quran.' Well, Jimmy Crack Corn you guessed it,
I don't care!!
One last thought for the day:
Only five defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
1. Jesus Christ
2. The Canadian Soldier.
3. The British Soldier.
4. The US Soldier, and
5. The Australian Soldier
One died for your soul, the other 4 for your freedom.

Michelle's 15th Birthday
Tinkerbell Cake
Michelle and Wayne have a great friendship and he takes her out for her
birthday every year. This year we all decided to go and she choose
Lucky's Buffet for dinner. Very good dinner I might add.

Grace***Michelle informed Dave and I yesterday that she is moving to TN to be with her bio-mom.
They will be here Thanksgiving weekend to get her. She thinks life there will be so much better and wants to get to know her bio-mom. Please pray for all of us as we transition.
She just loved the cake.
