Please Pray For Us!
The attack in Tikrit!

Our telephone has not rung, but if our son has been killed in Iraq, they would notify his wife first. She would call us, except that she has just delivered our second grandson and may not even be home, yet!

I'll wait to tell the Missus... if he is all right, there is no need to frighten her...

GOD DAMN YOU GEORGE BUSH!

A parent should NEVER have to bury their own child! Please God! I know it's wrong to pray that it's someone ELSE'S son, but....

Am I a monster?

5. Oh, no-
Lord, yes, I'll certainly keep you and your family in my prayers and thoughs. As the mother of a 13-year-old son I can't imagine what it must be like for you. Please keep us posted.

7. No, you're NOT a monster!
It's only natural that you'd want your son not to be killed or wounded in Iraq.

As an atheist, I'm afraid I can't pray for you, but I'll certainly send good vibes your fmaily's way. Hope that'll suffice! :hug:

9. You're entire family will be in my prayers.
I lost my son-in-law 2 weeks ago, and know your pain. Please try to hang in - you are no monster, 309. :grouphug:

11. Of course you're not a monster.
It pisses me off something fierce that that AWOL son of a bush wouldn't even serve his rigged National Guard tour in the USA and yet he has no problem in sending thousands of our youngest and finest on a bogus invasion of a country on the other side of the world in order to be a taxpayer-paid security force for Haliburton. As long as I live I'll never figure out how that asshole got to be president, even if he did have the help of Katherine Harris and the Supremes. He's a criminal and he and his co-conspiritors should be dealt with accordingly after Kerry takes office.

I am hoping for the best for your son and hope that he returns to you soon.
