For those of you interested in hearing an intelligent response given by another person on my friends blog to the poem I previously posted read below:
Response, point by point, to John Robbins. I'm sorry if this beats everybody down.
You find Osama, then. That's Bush's fault?
Actually, the unstable situation in Iraq is part of what's making the market a "drama". It will be hard to recover economically unless we remove the uncertainty.
Not sure what "frisky" refers to.
The natural state of Pakistan is shifty
So, John's point is that we should attack North Korea instead? That's classic wanting to have it both ways.
Actually, our actual allies, both in Europe and in the Middle East, are with us. Under no circumstances are France, Germany, Russia, and China our allies. Why not ask why these supposed allies don't support us?
9-11 = us being "dissed". Next time Al-Qaida should just dunk on us.
What, oh WHAT, are the inspections supposed to do? Saddam knows they are nothing...that's why he allows them.
Apparently, having an open mind means believing Saddam Hussein instead of GW Bush.
Oh, it's aggression, all right. We are at war.
Maybe if we just left Saddam alone, he wouldn't build bombs.
Interesting. Can't see = not there? His position is as untenable as the one he is ripping on.
How do we get proof? Inspections? Maybe the U.N. will just trip over an A-bomb sitting in a warehouse somewhere.
Is John actually asserting that they don't have banned weapons? To paraphrase Owen Wilson, what about Saddam in his time as leader would make him think that?
This statement is just ignorant. I don't know where to begin. That election is way to complicated for that pat statement.
needed something to rhyme with "elected", I guess.
Saddam is just misunderstood. Like Hitler
Iraq never had weapons. That was something Republicans made up to distract us.
So, this is just a personal vendetta, according to John?
So, when Clinton was president, and companies lied about profits, that's Bush's fault?
Yes, and Bush has really given them a free pass, hasn't he? Bush being a former oilman = rampant corruption by default.
If John doesn't agree with you, you're sleazy.
Why hide the fact that you don't agree with John? In most places, that's a badge of honor.
This is a puzzling charge. He needed to express the fact that Bush is just trying to prove himself a man, but couldn't find a proper word to express it. He settled on "queasy", which is kind of clunky. Not to mention the absurd and vitriolic and downright ignorant view of Bush.
Ok, now we seem to have gone away from the Bush theme, without notice. If our military didn't follow orders, we would still be colonies.
Ahh...isolationism. Call the troops back, GWBush, or better yet, let's not have an army at all. I'm sure Saddam is telling the truth.
Which is worse...to tell somebody that they're being treasonous, or; to believe a bunch of poorly-thought-out crap and claim you're being called a traitor when somebody says your thinking will destroy America?
Hey, dude, we have no choice -- WE'RE AT WAR NOW.
We don't want to go to war. Let's just pretend Iraq doesn't exist. Worked for Clinton.

Hi everyone,
That is a funny poem Jason. Frankly, I am scared about this whole war thing. Is it a Pandora's box? What don't we know. Chemical warfare-sucks! Jeff, Jason, Kyle, Paul, Kevin are all in the draft age group. Hope it never comes to that!!! So enough of the downers.
Julie was home sick yesterday. Bill has a bad cold, too. And I have a sore throat. So enough of the downers.
Been working hard on Jennie's wedding. She is coming home next week and I have her going all over the place. Cake testing, videographer looking, hair cutting, florist talking, music connection, bridesmaid dresses looking, etc. etc. Jason and Jeff (&Jill) will be home, too. God, I love it when all my kids are home. Each time I wonder how long it will be until this happens again and count it as a blessings each time.
Jason reinvite these people to the blog on these e-mail addresses, o.k.? Keith - KReschke@NCUSD203.org,
I think Sally's is the same only with an S not K. Wayne -WReschke@greatorganizations.com. Maybe this will get them going on the blog. Hope so.
So life is still busy. We had our last Sunday Night Live youth led service a week ago. It was very sad but I think I needed to let go of that responsibility. I feel badly for the praise band especially. Hopefully, God will open windows for them since this door is now closed.
Going to Naperdale this weekend, Julie is going on Sat. and I am going on Sunday and spending the night. Every now and then it is good for me to just get out of town. That is about the only vacation I have. Even when I am at home, I am at work since my home and my volunteer jobs is my work. So - getting out of town is my only respit. It will be good to visit with mom and dad, too.
It is soooo.....(hghdjdl)..freezin' these days. I wish there was at least some snow on the ground. No skiing this year, though. Got a wedding to pay for. Hopefully, next year.
Jeff's got an interview for a job here in Rockford at a bank for a year long internship. It would be a good foundation for him right out of college I think. So wish him luck everyone.
I am really rambling here. So I am going to sign off now. I love you all, Sue/mom/auntsue

hi familia...or hola familia...o hola familia. (just move from least correct to most correct). Anywho. How's everyone doing? Good great grand wonderful! I'm just chilling chilling. If I haven't recommended Homestarrunner.com yet...well I'm doing it now. Check this site out...it is FULL of laughs...especially go to "email" and then "strongbad's email" it's histarical...lots of laughs...muchos laughos.
That's sounds crazy deano, hope you have (had) fun! And along the French and Germans losing their nerve thing. Don't know much but any of all that stuff...I do know that overall I support the cause in Iraq. I'll back the president. Most my friends, however, are anti anti this war...one of them posted the following poem on our friends blog:
If You're Happy And You Know It Bomb Iraq
by John Robbins
If you cannot find Osama, bomb Iraq.
If the markets are a drama, bomb Iraq.
If the terrorists are frisky,
Pakistan is looking shifty,
North Korea is too risky,
Bomb Iraq.
If we have no allies with us, bomb Iraq.
If we think that someone's dissed us, bomb Iraq.
So to hell with the inspections,
Let's look tough for the elections,
Close your mind and take directions,
Bomb Iraq.
It's pre-emptive non-aggression, bomb Iraq.
To prevent this mass destruction, bomb Iraq.
They've got weapons we can't see,
And that's all the proof we need,
If they're not there, they must be,
Bomb Iraq.
If you never were elected, bomb Iraq.
If your mood is quite dejected, bomb Iraq.
If you think Saddam's gone mad,
With the weapons that he had,
And he tried to kill your dad,
Bomb Iraq.
If corporate fraud is growin', bomb Iraq.
If your ties to it are showin', bomb Iraq.
If your politics are sleazy,
And hiding that ain't easy,
And your manhood's getting queasy,
Bomb Iraq.
Fall in line and follow orders, bomb Iraq.
For our might knows not our borders, bomb Iraq.
Disagree? We'll call it treason,
Let's make war not love this season,
Even if we have no reason,
Bomb Iraq.
Thought you might find that interesting even though you don't agree w/ it. I don't agree and I found it semi funny and interesting. I also think the person on my blog who posted it really isn't all that "anti" the war he just likes to stir things up. Well check yall later.
in Christ,
jason
