Lately there has been a lot of people talking and opinions on various things. I wanted to share my opinion - just for the record.
I was glad to hear Obama wants to pull the troops out of Iraq I only wish he was as committed to do that in Afghanistan. I don't agree with this war at all on any level. I think it has been a tragic waste of lives on both sides.
I hear a lot of things people say about Muslims and it really makes my skin crawl. I know Muslim people and am smart enough to know that all Muslims are not terrorists, just as I am smart enough to know that not all Christians are KKK members! These types of factions take a faith and bastardize it to fit their agenda's.
I don't think forcing "Freedom" down their throats is what they seem to want at all. People up-rise for freedom and rights, when they want them. What we believe to be freedom and right in our culture isn't what other people see as freedom or right. I get really tired of western culture thinking its the be all and end all of civility. It is not. We are not perfect by any stretch of the imagination and should not try to make other cultures conform to western beliefs.
I understand the women are treated differently than here - and people of course find it appauling. So DON'T do that then. This is their faith, what they believe to be true. When women in the west decided we didn't want to be treated like a second class citizen we rose up and said "WE WANT MORE". You can't FORCE that, it has to happen when (and if) they are ready to do that. They may never be ready to do that. We just have to accept that is there way of life, who the heck are we to tell them differently? If you don't like the Muslim faith - then don't become one. Easy. What in the world makes people think its right to invade their country and tell THEM how they have to change to suit you? That is wrong and we told Hitler that when he did that in Poland, whats so different now?
I like living here in Canada, the freedoms I have. This is how I was raised it is what I know. How would we all feel if someone invaded our country and said its all wrong and we should believe their way? It's WRONG plain and simple. There are no WMD we established that, then it became the "war on terror". Who's terror? I am thinking it is far more terrifying for them to be invaded and forced to conform to things they do not believe it! It sure would be if it was happening to me.
That's my 2 cents on that. I am sure it will get some backlash from some people I say bring it on. There is NO way anyone can deny - if it were you sitting in your comfy easy chair watching Sunday night TV and a country invaded telling you everything you are doing and everything you believe is wrong that it would be OK and you'd be "OH I am SO glad someone came to help me". I doubt you can find me one person who would think that was a great idea. They want us out, of course they do. SO lets GET OUT.
