Honeychile,
I am speechless...that was so vividly true! I really am having so many feelings going on right now, I don't know what to say. I am mad, scared, uncertain, anxious, and just basically confused! I don't know...I don't like this one bit!

*sigh*:(

Thank you, everyone who was also touched by that email. 1savvydiva, I feel the same as you - I think we all do, whichever "side" you're on. That's the beauty of America - many different sides but all standing together.

The somewhat surreal part to this is, it's finally hit home that we have really lost Mr. Rogers. Sometimes, in listening to him explain to children that it's okay to be scared, but to realize that they will be safe, I could take that into my own heart.

God bless America!

What's the approximate number of our people over there?

Last I read/ heard there were about 250,000 Americans serving in the military over there.

Just thought that this was a little crazy... There are 8,000 soldiers training at Fort McCoy here in Wisconsin. Can you imagine Wisconsin minus 8,000 people if even for a short time. That is like the size of my whole town. Hopefully the war will be ended before these troops will be deployed, because I know that I do not want my friend to have to go overseas.

A Marine chopper is down by the Iraq-Kuwait border :(

Pray for our men and women who protect everything we stand for.

God, please keep David safe. Bring him home safe to his girls.

Yep 12 Americans and 4 British dead. Hope all the pro war people think all this is worth it. Bet their families aren't right now.

I heard it was 4 Americans & 12 British? I could be wrong. Not that it matters, they are all human beings fighting for us :(

I just read that it was 8 British and 4 US Marines that were killed in the crash.

My thoughts are with their families and everyone else there.

please pray...
 

for the men who died in the helicopter crash yesterday, and for the marine who died in combat this morning, as well as their families and friends.

Oh my God. They were not lying when they said shock and awe.

aside note, they are saying that most iraqi can live for another week with their food supplies. after that, it's anybody guess. And the world food programme have announce that it will cost $1 billion in refugee cost, and so far they only collected $44 million. I can't believe that nobody was prepared for this. Latest inteligence said that Turkish military might be commin into n. iraq, that will be bad news because the kurds hate the turks as much as they hate hussein. I wonder what the Iranian are doing, no doubt they have agents in there already. This is going to be very very interesting.

Was it 1.4million or billion of Iraqi assets that were seized in the US?
