Sorry for going off topic, I just saw people were being more concerned about the civilians in Iraq and wanted to know why people were okay with saving Iraqi children but not the un-born in America. Sorry guys, I apologize for my own little thought process.

Marg, The reason why I ask about the abortion issue is that you seem to take the santity of life very seriously, especially when it comes to the Iraqi civilians. I just wanted to know if you took the same santity of life when it comes to babies. Not wanting to start a war, I just find it Ironic that you will vote for a man who believes that life begins at conception, yet believes it okay to take that life without anyone questioning it. What an outrage.

To me, this just shows why Kerry is only concerned about himself and making himself look good.

EastCoastKid is hard to make some people understand that US is not the only country in the world friendly and Christian and that anybody else that is not, is the enemy and that, is right to decimate and destroy them.
It is sad how the mentality of politicians can influence the minds of their followers is like religion you will follow blindly your religious leaders even to death and history has plenty of tales from the dark to tell about it.

It's really sad. I think it's indicative of two things: People who go to public schools here are pro-government/media brainwashed from the get-go and let's face it, nobody wants to believe their government is guilty of committing evil/criminal acts against its citizens. Lemmings live with their heads 3 ft. underground. I guess denial is their favorite state.

Kerry has said he is personally opposed to abortion; but that he supports Roe v. Wade.
Getting back to the subject, JRSDLS, what would you do if America was invaded by the Godless Russians and/or Chinese, who were adament on stomping out any vestige of our Christian religion?

Najaf calm, but Baghdad flares anew

BAGHDAD -- Shi'ite militants and U.S. forces battled yesterday in Baghdad's Sadr City slum and a mortar barrage slammed into a busy eastern neighborhood in a new round of violence in the capital that left five persons dead and dozens wounded, officials said.
The violence contrasted with calm in the holy city of Najaf, where residents cleaned up broken glass and rubble and returned to their wrecked offices and shops after three weeks of devastating clashes between Shi'ite fighters and U.S. troops.
Elsewhere, U.S. warplanes bombed suspected militant hide-outs in Fallujah, west of Baghdad, and rebels blew up an oil pipeline in southern Iraq.
