    A mother asked President Bush,


    "Why did my son have to die in Iraq?"




    Another mother asked President Kennedy,


    "Why did my son have to die in Viet Nam?"




    Another mother asked President Truman,


    "Why did my son have to die in Korea?




    Another mother asked President F.D. Roosevelt,


    "Why did my son have to die at Iwo Jima?"




    Another mother asked President W. Wilson,


    "Why did my son have to die on the battlefield of France?"




    Yet another mother asked President Lincoln,


    "Why did my son have to die at Gettysburg?"




    And yet another mother asked President G. Washington,


    "Why did my son have to die near Valley Forge?"

    See this is a timeless question that has been asked time and time again.
    "So that others may have life and dwell in peace, happiness and freedom."
    As freedom isnt free.. ;)
    ******************************************

    Then long, long ago, a mother asked...

    "Heavenly Father, why did my Son have to die,
    on a cross outside of Jerusalem?"

    On a religious note the same would apply for jesus,
    who died for all our sins. So that we would have life & dwell in peace & freedom.
    Its not supposed to mirror the above but to show a similarity..


    Thanks Godiva, meant to edit that as I was posting

    I consider this sacrilegious and offensive.

    Soldiers are not the Son of God.

    And it is blasphemous to compare God giving his only son to men choosing to kill each other over such trifles as land or ideology; comparing the decisions of mortal presidents to God himself.

    Jesus said "Love thy neighbor", not kill him if he doesn't worship the same way you do.

    Comparing the Iraq war to the crucifixion is blasphemy.

    This world is too crowded. Depopulation to allow people to live within the means of the earth's resources unfortunately is necessary. Wars have been deemed by humans as an acceptable method to achieve this goal.

    I read someplace that china was paying its residents not to have children, due to over population.. I cant prove this but do remember reading it..

    This is an acceptable way for an essentially non christian society.

    Won't work for a christian one. Thus it's "onward christian soldier...(see the history of europe, europe and africa, america and manifest destiny)

    American soldiers should NEVER die for some country on the other side of the world's freedom!

    You know who should die for Iraq's freedom? Iraqi soldiers, not American! Same with Vietnam and Korea.

    We have already lost enough soldiers defending our country.

    This is more typical chickenhawk mentality.

    Interesting take on population control...the world is crowded, not here in Middle America-Missouri, but elsewhere, yes.

    War is waged for many reasons...ethnic cleansing happens ALL the time, but it's not because some dictator is concerned about the Earth's poplulation (usually it's one very specific population they are concerned about and want to rid it from the Earth). That's hate. The killing and decrease in population is just a means to an end for them.

    The Third World countries are the ones that have over-population. Most industrialized nations have zero population growth.

    Of course, at SOME point, we WILL get nailed by some vicious virus and/or other global disaster that might keep population in check as well...

    Are you trying to spread right wing propeganda?

    Everyone knows that all of these were directly because George Bush was trying to invade those countries to steal their oil.

    Get a clue you people hater!!!

    hahahaha... Sometimes it's fun to pretend to be a liberal and just crank out the most irrational idiotic thing anyone has ever heard... Try it sometime... :lol: :lol:

    Blasphemy? Jesus was accused of blasphemy when he healed on the sabbath, and that was by the religious experts of the day.

    Why is it blasphemy to compare giving of one life for the lives of many to save?

    I see the parallel?.. what do you know about blasphemy?

    What do you know about war?

    What do you know about sacrificing for someone else?

    What do you know about living for someone else, let alone about dying for someone else?

    Are you sure you should you really be the judge?

    I know that you would find it offensive for Bush to be compared to Satan.

    But I'm not allowed to be offended by soldiers being equated with GOD. I do not equate the wars of man with the sacrifice of Christ.
