i gotta say, generalizing all muslims bugs me. as in any religion...you get some crazies...but not all of them are bad. some christians are bad, some arent. some muslims are extremists...some arent...every muslim ive met has been nothing short of a great person to me. one of my best friends here in bloomington is Iranian...and we fasted ramadan together last year....(one of my better experiences in life no doubt)
dont get me wrong, im very patriotic. but listening to the stories my friends serving in iraq have told me, i dont really feel like our government was justified in what it did, nor did it tell the whole truth.
those guys are coming home different people...and confused about what they were doing there (i guess it happens in war, but its hard to see it happen to friends).
last i saw my friend...we drank a bit too much the night before he left for round 2 in iraq...the stories they have...if everyone heard them...there'd be no more wars. pictures say a thousand words...but listening to the stories first hand has a far greater effect IMO.
