I urge all Kansans to do the same at their homes and businesses to demonstrate to the world that the American spirit cannot be extinguished. “I also ask that Kansans continue praying for those families and communities still... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/09/just_a_reminder_1.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/09/just_a_reminder_1.html Mon, 10 Sep 2007 07:17:00 -0600 And at Bali they were after Kiwis and Aussies because it was the favorite destination for soldiers in East Timor on leave. They missed btw. While I personally accept the spirit of what you're saying its a lot easier to swallow for others that we are all Anglosphere. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/09/just_a_reminder_1.html#comment-64195 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/09/just_a_reminder_1.html#comment-64195 Tue, 11 Sep 2007 17:02:43 -0600 Murray, on that one day, they were all Americans, no matter which nation they originally hailed from. Those who murdered them wanted to kill Americans just for being Americans. Yes, everyone anywhere who does not subscribe to the extremist views of the false religion of Islam and its twisted followers is at risk, but we Americans got the dubious honor of taking point on this particular patrol that will never end. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/09/just_a_reminder_1.html#comment-64170 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/09/just_a_reminder_1.html#comment-64170 Tue, 11 Sep 2007 09:40:28 -0600 Yes Murray is right we're all involved. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/09/just_a_reminder_1.html#comment-64169 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/09/just_a_reminder_1.html#comment-64169 Tue, 11 Sep 2007 08:55:53 -0600 What Murray said. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/09/just_a_reminder_1.html#comment-64160 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/09/just_a_reminder_1.html#comment-64160 Tue, 11 Sep 2007 01:39:59 -0600 With all due respect 3,000 Americans were not killed on Sept 11. The citizens of over 80 nations were killed that day, most of them Americans. They attacked ALL of us. To pretend otherwise is do the enemys job for them. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/09/just_a_reminder_1.html#comment-64158 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/09/just_a_reminder_1.html#comment-64158 Mon, 10 Sep 2007 22:43:58 -0600 U-man, it's too easy to get to vote. Hell, in a properly run polity *I* wouldn't get to vote. These days, you don't even have to know where the courthouse is, to register. "Motor Voter!" Spit! P.S. When I registered in this county (at the courthouse) I offered to produce birth certificate, ute-bills, affidavits, etc. I swear the clerk got all scaredy-cat from hearing me say that. Apparently they were forbidden to ask for actual credentials, so my offering credentials frightened her. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/09/just_a_reminder_1.html#comment-64156 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/09/just_a_reminder_1.html#comment-64156 Mon, 10 Sep 2007 21:08:24 -0600 our congressmen we want out.

All the pampered, wealthy elites in the American Democratic leadership have to worry about is the loss of funding, political influence, and votes. By contrast, the Iraqi political leadership faces very real violence now - from assassinations, suicide bombings, and civil war - and probable military incursions by Turkey, Iran, and Saudi Arabia if the US withdraws before we accomplish our mission there. Instead of compelling the Iraqi leadership to work together to stabilize Iraq, the Democrats' constant undermining of our efforts in Iraq and their threats to withdraw US forces are destroying any confidence that the Iraqis may have that the US has the political will and resolve to finish the job, especially if a Democrat takes the White House in 2008. Faced with the very real prospect of extreme violence in Iraq following a US withdrawal, the Iraqi political leaders are aligning themselves with those sectarian groups that will offer them protection in the bloodbath that will ensue. The Democrats are making a larger conflict inevitable after a US withdrawal - both inside Iraq, between the various Iraqi ethnic groups, and in the region as Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey move to expand their influence and control in the vacuum that follows. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/09/just_a_reminder_1.html#comment-64142 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/09/just_a_reminder_1.html#comment-64142 Mon, 10 Sep 2007 09:31:03 -0600 Similar statement]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/09/just_a_reminder_1.html#comment-64141 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/09/just_a_reminder_1.html#comment-64141 Mon, 10 Sep 2007 09:21:28 -0600
