Lines where also crossed by Bruce especialy the words I don't care about
justice of the war.
It are Americans like me.
Like Killed Iraqi's are not of any importance
Every man or woman who dies in a war (especialy in a usles war) has the same
grief on the family and friends.
So justice remains very important here!
So for the one who did send the email
Many Americans and Brits do not suport the war in Iraq.
So don't hate al Americans and/or Brits for it.
Even many soldiers didn't want to go but it is there job.
So it is tragic to send such emails
What if you would be a Father
a mother
A son
A daughter
Or a friend of the person who died ?
So think again before doing it again.
