1. I couldn't bear to call these morons. Here's what I wrote.

What are you folks thinking???!! Don't you realize that by attempting to convert Iraqis to Christianity, you're confirming what the Muslim fundamentalists say about Americans in order to foment terrorism? Iraq is already a tinder-box, right on the edge of civil war, with 130,000 of our children sitting in the middle of it. Go somewhere else to convert people, you must, but do not put our troops in danger like this.

2. This is just asking for it

I wonder how many senseless deaths will result from this religious zealotry, condoned by our government.

3. Im getting too blasted on the Breaking News

to post on there anymore...I guess I am now being called insane for being so angry.
I guess you arent allowed to be angry when your kid is in the middle of Iraq and his life is at risk because of morons in the WH and morons like these cults.
I never drink, tonight I will.

4. I have been told when confronting these types and objecting

to their aggressive bullying and proselytizing, to get out of the way if I do not like it.\

They certainly do have a right to go where they want to proselytize. We cannot stop them at all. That is a fact.

There must be some other means to combat the insanitity they preach and as far as I am concerned, those Christians who do not agree with this method are responsible for exposing it as bullying, and not myself, because I lost all belief in this sort of nonsense a long time ago,

5. and don't try to tell me

that the US military doesn't have to also guard these assclowns in a war zone just like the drones from Halliburton. Defense contractors and holy rollers---this is what the military is primarily doing---guarding Bush*'s base.

7. Where DO they have the right to go?

I don't know--do they have a right to go to a war zone and prosletyze?

Remember, even reporters aren't allowed anywhere near where the troops are unless escorted by a military P.R. person.

Do you think one of us would get away with flying into Baghdad and passing out fliers denouncing the Shrub? Do you think a contingent of American muslims who wanted to go in and "shore up the faithful" or render aid would be allowed in? Of course not. When you go into an occupied zone, you go there by permission only. The occupiers decide who gets to go in. So why do these people, who are certain to anger the occupied people, get permission to go in?

It sounds as if these people are there as at least quasi-official representatives of our current administration.

Does anybody remember that minister in Iraq who controlled the water in one area near where the soldiers were stationed? He would let the hot, dirty, tired GIs have water for a bath ONLY if they agreed to be baptized.


We're not talking about people annoying us as we leave Target. We're talking about a highly incendiary war zone. And we're talking about another sovereign, albeit conquered, country, not the local WalMart. So it isn't a "fact" that we cannot stop them; it's apparent that the people in charge don't want to stop them, even if they are making an already tense situation even worse.

6. These guys are gonna get a bomb up there tailpipes.

Which is a risk they take by being out there. Iraq is now the equivalent of the "Wild West". The law being the guys with the biggest guns. Missionaries like these putzes who attach a string to the charity they give out will be open targets...
