Letters The Troops Have Sent Me
Current rating: 0

I have also heard from their friends and relatives, and from other veterans. A mother writing on behalf of her son (whose name we have withheld) wrote:

"My son said that this is the worst it's been since the "end" of the war. He said the troops have been given new rules of engagement, and that they are to "take out" any persons who aggress on the Americans, even if it results in "collateral" damage. Unfortunately, he did have to kill someone in self defense and was told by his commanding officer 'Good kill.'

"My son replied 'You just don't get it, do you?'

"Here we are...Vietnam all over again."

Patriots For Gore
Current rating: 1
20 Dec 2003
After September 11 foreign policy experience, military service and national security credentials are now longer merely bonus attributes in a President; they are leadership characteristics that are fundamental in a president, now is not the time for a President in Training...51,000.000 Americans went to the polls on Nov. 7, 2000 to cast a vote for the promise and the hope that Al Gore envisioned for our country, our nation and the world in which we all live. Although much has changed in the world since that day, I believe we need that hope and that vision more today, than ever before. Gore alone has the experience and the credentials to defeat a sitting President in a time or war.

Embattled Farmers: 1776 And 2003
Current rating: 0
20 Dec 2003
A handful of agriculture conglomerates work to drive small farmers off their land by paying them less for their produce than it costs to grow, moving them into a cycle of loans, mortgages, foreclosures, repossessions and the sale of land to corporate-controlled agribusiness.
