I need the help from my wonderful DU investigators.....
to answer this crap! I received this email from relatives(?)who had passed it on. Please help me defuse this, this, I don't know what, crap, so that I can send an email back to them, refuting this shit:


I Don't Care

The lady who wrote this letter is Pam Foster of Pamela Foster and Associates in Atlanta. She's been in business since 1980 doing interior design and home planning. She recently wrote a letter to a family member serving in Iraq....... Read it!

WHAT'S ALL THE FUSS?
"Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we?
Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our
shores on September 11, 2001? Were people from all over the world, mostly
Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan, across
the Potomac from our nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania?

Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible,
burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?

And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was "desecrated"
when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet? Well, I
don't. I don! 't care at all.

I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents
for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.

I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start
caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in
Saudi Arabia.

I'll care when Abu Musab al-Zarqawi tells the world he is sorry for
hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling
slashed throat.


I'll care when the cowardly so-called "insurgents" in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques.

I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs.


I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights.


In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up an
Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care.

When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to nothing more serious than a college hazing incident, rest assured
that I don't care.

When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank that I don't care.

When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and
fed "special" food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being "mishandled," you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts that I don't care.

And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled "Koran" and other times "Quran." Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and ---- you guessed it - - - I don't care ! ! ! ! !

Claim: The relative of a soldier serving in Iraq penned the 'I'll care if . . ." polemic.

Status: False.

4. Whoever believes that shit has no morality, is not a Christian,
has no integrity, and is a disgrace to America.

What kind of person would not care about torturing and abusing (and raping and murdering) other human beings, INNOCENT human beings who had NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with 911, whom we INVADED???!

Not the kind of person I'd want anything to do with. Would you?

5. "Cowardly insurgents?" I guess aerial bombing and "hiding in tanks"
makes you much more brave during combat?

6. OMG
this kind of crap hardly even warrants a response. It is riddled with ignorance and the myth that Iraq was in any way connected to 9/11. 'Member perchance the crusades?

There were more Phd's per capita in Iraq than in america prior to our assault. It was the cradle of civilization. We trashed it.

8. Ignore it....
It's made its way to millions of e-mail addresses.

It's like the North Dakota blizzard story, where we didn't need no help from Der Monkey, like those lazy black people on welfare, in Nawlins during Katrina.

It's so stupid, that to respond to it is akin to sliding into some type of primordial ooze.

It's really sad actually.

I can't believe that I was so stupid as to not check Snopes.com! I, obviously, am falling down on the job, since that is the first website that I recommend that people check when THEY send me shit! OMG, thank you! for a reminder to check Snopes when I receive such malarkey! I think I have lost it!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!
