Fight this war now before our ill-equiped childeren have to do so. While
we're sending our kids to dance lessons and soccer practice, they're having
their kids bow down to hate americans and teaching pre-teens to fire
automatic weapons. I'm not saying we fight civilians, but we have to take
out the dictatorship that's forcing this!
