A Father's Plea
Let me see if I got this correct, when the Palestinian Islamic Suicide bombers come into our restaurants and buses and kill our civilians, women, children, young and old by the dozens we should use restraint. And when we go after the Islamic murderers and do our best not to kill any civilians we are told we are using disproportionate force. The US, EU and the UN all tell us we should not go after them and most of all to leave Arafat alone.

But when an American Helicopter gets shot down in an Arab Country while going after citizens of that country, the US army goes after them with 500 pound bombs and shells them for days with heavy artillery, knowing that many civilians will be killed.

Now I know we have been hearing of this double standard, but how clear can it be, and when will Bush understand that the same Islamic enemy he is hosting in the White House are the same ones we are fighting. And the same evil devils that have been killing Jews as well as Christians all over the world are the same Islamic devils. The only difference is they have been killing us by the hundreds and the rest of the world keeps telling us to have patience with them. And every time we go after them the US, EU, UN, and others jump on us, telling us that we should not use disproportionate force. What is it we should use, surely they don't expect us to use the same force, suicide bombers. And why can the US drop 500 pound bombs in Iraqi Islamic neighborhoods and 15,000 pound bombs in Afghanistan but when we shoot missiles designed to limit collateral damage we are called the bad guys.

The Islamic leaders of the world are calling for an all out war against the Infidels (meaning mostly the US and Israel) and not to stop until the world has been won over to Islam. The President of Malaysia can call for Moslems the world over to join the fight against Israel until it is destroyed and not be condemned by a single world leader for his words. Iran can have a parade in the middle of Tehran with their new missile capable of reaching Tel-Aviv with bold letters on them saying they are for the destruction of Israel, and the world says nothing.

In the mean time our Prime Minister seems to be more concerned with the pleasure of the US President than the protection of the Jews. We all know this so-called Intifada could be dealt with in short order if the IDF was allowed to finish their job in the same fashion the US is doing in Iraq. To add insult to injury, we have the same people who brought us so much death and destruction by way of Oslo, now bringing us the Geneva Initiative...

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for our son Joel, for all the IDF soldiers and those who have come to fight the Islamic enemy...

Shalom,

"Bush Cutters"

1. My most sincere apologies to the Moderators.
With the understanding that the 'other side' here will demand this be tossed off the forum; with the understanding that publishing my letter is in fact a breach of I/P rules; I am appealing to your humanity to let it stand. Lock it, but please let it stand. I believe - well, hope - it might cause some; and, if it's just one, it's worth it; to see things in a slightly different way.

Again, with my most sincere apologies to the Moderators: Lock this thread if you must, but please let it stand rather than be removed altogether.

Thank you and Shalom,

2. Message to father
We don't agree with Bush and his wars and we certainly dont agree with "IDF was allowed to finish their job in the same fashion the US is doing in Iraq".

Thank you for understanding. It's just being consistent. Love your "Islamic devils" remarks. Very close to general Boykins remarks. Shalom
