<DIV><FONT size=2>Mr. Kinnnear,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Worth a read? Yes it is nice to know where the =
drivel comes
from these days. After you get tired of smelling the pacifist flowers =
why don't
you wake up to the reality of the times? Mr. Osama bin Laden and his =
father have
more than enough money to provide all these things you want real =
Americans to
provide to the masses of Afghanistans. These people don't want our food, =
money,
or way of life. They don't want our sympathy, our kindness or =
understanding.
They simply want us off the planet and are prepared to do anything to =
accomplish
this mission they feel is commanded by their god. It's either us or =
them, sir.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>You forward a petition asking me to support your =
totally
unrealistic, unwarranted ideas of pacifism in the face of enemy =
aggression
directed towards targets on our own soil. Like it or not, We ARE in a =
war
already and need to support those placed in authority over us at this =
time with
our hearts, our minds and our dollars. Please pedal your petition =
somewhere
else, but make sure you do so out of earshot of the graves and final =
resting
places of those innocents fallen to the sword of evil. By the way, have =
you
given any consideration of the untold thousands who have given =
their lives
in the cause of freedom so that people like you can continue to carry =
the banner
of pacifism while not giving any measure of devotion to our country in
return?</FONT></DIV>

THESE
TIMES. HOW ABOUT ALL OF YOU?</FONT></DIV>
