A Place to Talk About War

I would like to hear from soldiers who have been in combat situations, from their families, or from others interested in this conversation. I am a graduate student interested in war rhetoric. I have no preset agenda: I simply want to listen, to learn, and to be supportive.

About Me

A small question . . .

You know how Pat Robertson occasionally claims that a disaster is actually God's wrath poured out on us for some reason? And Allah is frequently given praise for smiting the infidels in one way or the other?

Do you suppose that if Allah really wanted to smack down the Danes, he could do so without getting his own people killed in the process?

Update: go over to http://www.bookfraud.blogspot.com/ and check out his postings on the cartoon flap. His "ÜBER-OFFENSIVE BONUS BLOG!" is well worth your time, as is his discussion of Salman Rushdie and power.
