What is the noble cause our children are being asked to die for?

I hope my own children never have to fight a war.
And I'm not a student of religion, but I don't find anything in what the principal teachings of Islam that put us in contradiction at all. In fact, the principles are the same as what-we have a diverse religious culture. But it's kindness, it's be good to your neighbor, it's love, and it's take care of children. It's all these things that-so there's no anti-Islam.

I'm 59, and people are going to realize you get as much aerobic exercise - if not more - on the mountain bike without being hobbled.
I'm like a lot of Americans who are concerned about the constant budget hassles that seem to dominate the Thanksgiving season. Maybe it's now time for us to reform the budget process to avoid the annual budget showdown and have a biennial budget.
the biggest government spender we've seen in decades
The best way to relieve families from time to time is to let them keep some of their own money.
the best of American patriotism and service to their country. They did their duty with honor and with great professionalism.
The administration I'll bring is a group of men and women who are focused on what's best for America, honest men and women, decent men and women, women who will see service to our country as a great privilege and who will not stain the house.
