Ms. Fabrizio's article on "Who's Listening" hit the mark. I have one more group to add to hers, the other folks listening are military families. We hear our weak-minded and loosed lipped congressmen/women and senators bash our soldiers. We see how the terrorists are emboldened by remarks of elected leaders who should know better than to paint a target on our soldiers. We hear the rush to condemn Marines who were fired upon and the judgment given them, even before a proper discovery of facts or a trial. We know that those who were beheaded at the hands of insurgents lost their lives because folks in Washington gave the insurgents the reason to kill them. We know. We have seen the face of war in ways they never will.

As for my family and the families of many others...we will remember. I believe there will be one family who loses a loved one who will draw a line in the sand and file a lawsuit in federal court charging reckless endangerment and name large numbers of Democratic senators and congressmen charging them with encouraging the enemy in a time of war. They will do it because they know the loss of a son or daughter can be pinned squarely on those who treasonously supported and encouraged the insurgency.

p>The dishonor belongs to the Democrats and their pandering to our enemies. They put our children in harm's way and then tease the terrorist by daring them to attack and destroy us. This isn't a game of brinkmanship but a war in which we fight for our survival as a nation...and yes, one nation under God. We will remember...we will long remember. br> -- Beverly Gunn br> East Texas Rancher and Military Mom /p>

I am so thankful that Bush was our President instead of Gore after 9/11, but I am very unhappy with him over border security with the understanding that Gore would have been even worse...if that is possible. The Dems cannot be counted on to protect this country. They have shown they are very good at rolling over and playing dead. I see a picture of Kerry, Kennedy or any of the cut and run group and think, of the old joke, would you buy a used car from this person? Would you bet your life they will protect you?

I laughed out loud when Bush said it was URGENT we control our border and I wrote and told him, "NO, URGENT was doing something when you first took office, not 6 years later." Border control is past being urgent, it is vital for our national security.

As far as illegal immigration the laws we have now would work if anyone had the guts to enforce them. Big business is pulling the strings on this; they love the cheap slave labor.
