No one likes war. I hate war! But the one thing I hate more is the
fact that this country has been forced into war-innocent people have lost their
lives - -

husband, or even worse my own son.

>On December 7, 1941, there are no records of movie stars treading the
blazing waters of Pearl Harbor.

On September 11, 2001; there are no photos of movie stars standing as
"human shields" against the debris and falling bodies ascending from the
World Trade Center. There were only policemen and firemen - -underpaid civil
servants who gave their all with nothing expected in return.

ship --

the lives of the children of North Birmingham whose mothers lay them down to
 sleep on the floor each night to shelter them from stray bullets.

women of honesty and integrity that epitomizes courage and embody the spirit of freedom

the people who have earned and deserve shielding! >
>Throughout the course of history, this country has remained free, not
because of movie stars and liberal activists, but because of brave men and women
who hated war too. However, they lay down their lives so that we all may live in
freedom.
>After all - "What greater love hath no man, that he lay down his life
for his friend," or in this case a country.

>We should give our military honor and acknowledgement and not let
their lives be in vain. If you want to see true human shields, walk through Arlington
Cemetery.

get on television and talk about being a human shield - they were human
shields.

>I thank God tonight for freedom - - those who bought and paid for it
with their lives in the past - - those who will protect it in the present and
defend it in the future.
>
>America has remained silent too long! God-fearing people have remained
silent too long!
>
>We must lift our voices united in a humble prayer to God for guidance
and the strength and courage to sustain us throughout whatever the future may
hold.
>
>After the tragic events of Sept. 11th, my then eleven -year-old son
said terrorism is a war against them and us and if you're not one of us,
then you're one of them.
>
>So in closing tonight, let us be of one accord, let us stand proud,
and let us be the human shields of prayer, encouragement and support for the
President, our troops and their families and our country.  May God bless America, the
land of the free, the home of the brave and the greatest country on the face
of this earth!

Date: 3/18/2003 8:44:30 PM Eastern Standard Time
From: newacct1088254 (Boom Boom Alicki )
To: Ben517

"In this century, when evil men plot chemical, biological and nuclear
terror, a policy of appeasement could bring destruction of a kind never
before seen on this earth.  Terrorists and terrorist states do not
reveal these threats with fair notice in formal declarations. And
responding to such enemies only after they have struck first is not self
defense. It is suicide. The security of the world requires disarming Saddam
Hussein now."
- PRESIDENT BUSH
