[Dave-N]

As a 33-year-old male American living overseas, I have been quite concerned about the issue of the Iraq war. I have spoken out quite frequently about my reasons for opposing the war in my own email circle, and I would like to share with you the outcome of the ensuing debate that took place.

Whether for or against this war, we love and respect the men and women who serve in the military. We honor them for their sacrifice by keeping the debate alive and by insisting on a free and vigorous exchange of ideas. (Notice I didn’t say a free and vigorous media? The state of the U.S. media has become abominable in its total slavery to ratings and biased reporting.)

The principles of freedom are protected by people like your son. Whatever their personal reasons may be for joining the military, be it pride and patriotism, a way to pay for college or to give direction to a directionless life, the U.S. military servivemen and women are the unsung heroes of our nation. Thank you for raising a son who has the commitment and temerity to do what many of us cannot (I am physically handicapped), and thank you for the strength you must have to see your son go to war in a place most of us will never see and for reasons that many of us will never fully understand. God bless you and your family.
