Iraq Torture Photos

A friend sent my an Email yesterday titled "Iraq Torture Photos." When I hoped the email, rather that find pictures of our troops engaged in the torture of suspected terrorists, it showed U.S. Troops involved in innocent play with Iraq's civilians and or helping rebuild the nation.

My response to him was- Yes, I agree / This IS AMERICA.

We are the most Moral, Charitable nation is the history of the world.

Every time there is news of a famine, or a deadly flood anywhere in the world, it is America that is first to offer aid and support. No nation has ever been a greater cause of good, a stronger voice for the oppressed, than America.

The U.S. Armed Forces have consistently been asked, and volunteered to come to the aid of those in need.

A nation working to help find peace in the middle-East,Northern Ireland , came to the aid of Kuwait .

Time and time again we have proven ourselves to be the "Great Moral Compass" of the world.

Yes this America!

Unfortunately this is Bush's AMERICA

How many years will children in the Muslim world see these pictures and think this is America?

The damage caused by us loosing our "Moral Authority" is a greater threat than any information we might have gained by lowering our standards.

Let America return to what president Reagan called "The shining city on the hill". Let us return to the spirit of greatness, that moral center, that makes so many of us so proud to be Americans.
