this is a very inspirational poem that involves many facts which is wat is sad. humanity is like that. this is very good. keep it up!

I agree with most of what you're saying, but from the viewpoint of a girl whose brother has been minutes from death for the past six months, I have to disagree with some of it. The politics are irrelevant. Nice writing.

i like it!

Yes Bob, I know the liberal spin to take us off subject. However, a child coming into this world to go to war wasn’t what this poem was about. What this poem was about, and I don’t believe I was unclear about my point, was the fact that war is the reason you have the right to speak your mind. In 1776, better men than you risked their lives, their family’s lives, and several hundred American lives, to give you the right to call them murderers. You just don’t get it, do you? Laying down our guns isn’t going to stop terrorism. Without resistance, it’s going to ignite our enemies. Perhaps they became enemies at the hands of a corrupt government, which your precious Bill Clinton was part of as well; but it is you and me, and everyone we love who is in the line of fire. And those who get picked off the easiest will be the ones standing out in the open trying to find someone to blame. Do you even understand why we haven’t had another terrorist attack on American soil since 911? Because the financers of terrorism are afraid of this president. George Bush didn’t just go after the terrorists, he went after the countries who financed it and gave them asylum. If we pull out of Iraq while there is still resistance to our presence, we will send the message that we are beaten. If that comes to pass, I think we’re going to find out what happened to some of those missing munitions and suitcase nukes. I don’t know, I may be wrong about this, but I’ve got a feeling, if Philadelphia lies in ruins under the shade of a mushroom cloud, and you survive, you might begin to understand why it is sometimes necessary to fight. Let’s hope, when you finally understand, it isn’t too late.

This poem made me think...
i personally have never thought that any type of violence is good, but you do bring up some good points
it seems that you have thought through this subject and have a firm belief and you are sticking to it, and i think that's cool
