Will your penpal ask about the War?

Hi Everyone! Let us take a moment to pray for the fighting men of the United States and also for the innocents.

As for as this board, I was wondering how some may deal with penpals, friends, lovers, et al, asking questions or stating their opinions about the war in Iraq.

Here is a link some may find interesting.

She thinks that the war is in the usa also and was worried about my safety along with her friends and family who watched the news and told her.." is your bf ok"?,,,,,,,
I reassured her.................after telling her...."oh yes hon i hear the bombs exploding outside, we are all hiding".........WHAT??........lol just kidding hon, The war is only in Iraq, not in the USA, the only squirmishes we are having is the police and a few protestors.

Mine understands that the fighting is in Iraq, but she is really worried that we might have another terroist attack like 911.

Hey Steve,

If they started deporting people around S. FL, only Jay, Matt, me and our families would be left. LOL

I saw the interview or questioning of the family members of the latest terror guy they are looking for.  I say load the family up and ship them back.

Hey Steve,

Did you notice how the family doesn't seem to know anything about him. They can't even remember that he lived there. Deportation is too good for them. Maybe they should "Saddaminize" or "Osamanize" them. ;o)))

Hi Outwest,

Many people in the Philippines asked my wife if she was still going to America after 9/11. They were convinced that it wasn't safe here after watching the news. My wife asked me and trusted my opinion. After flying almost 5 hours across the country several times and living here 1 1/2 years, she has a better idea how vast the US is and generally calm.

Hey, they were looking for a terrorist around my house today. Police were knocking on doors and searching a small woods nearby, near the mall. Supposedly another Mohamed Atta type ringleader who lived in the area. Good thing my son's friend, of Pakistani parents, came by later. LOL

Hi Matt,

One of the advantages of being married to a woman (most) from allied country like the Philippines or Japan. 100% support and hoping for US combat troops in the Philippines. My wife is just a bit frustrated with the poor news coverage (doesn't have cable) in the Philippines. I have tried to keep her updated.

Hi Jay,

Congratulations! That is GREAT news! Like you ever had any doubt. LOL I sure didn't!  Thought maybe they might cancel flights today.

You're doing as good as me! I have put a lot of hours in watching the war and keep seeing the same explosion. LOL I am not a very good spectator. I don't even watch football on TV. (Please people, don't call me un-American. LOL) Like you, I wish I was there! Well, I can't do as much as certain people around here, ;o))) but I am 100% behind my country and troops! I will do whatever minor task it requires of me!
