Of course they count Willow! Didn't your cousin acknowledge fact?
I've seen this make the rounds over the years. Not quite sure if it's from a lady from Jersey or not. I guess doesn't much matter. However, it was written by an American aimed at the few Americans who are quite vocal (think main-stream media and the ultra-far left liberals) and would disagree with most of what was written.
I, as a very conservative American, agree most solidly with most of the points. Yup, even bringing God into it.
Rindy does make a good point of the insanity of the millions (probably billions) over the many years of civilization killing others in the name of god. Heck, just in our Civil War over 500,000 died and each side thinking/hoping God was on their side.
Just please understand, I and many Americans really do appreciate all the many young men who have laid down there lives in the name of freedom. I could go on and on into specifics but I shant. My heart breaks even more so for those young lives lost due to the incompetence of their leaders i.e. Gallipoli, geez too many coming to mind but hope you get (IMO) my point!
