--------------------------- < < This was written by a Dr. in Texas and is very good, < < < please read. < < < < < < < < < I was just reading Yahoo news and the San Antonio < < < Express newspaper. You know what upsets me? < < < People with absolutely nothing to do with their < < < lives, so they complain on how the U.S. is treating < < < the prisoners or "Detainees" from Afghanistan. < < < < < < Do you know why they are complaining? They see < < < a picture on the news or the internet and they see < < < someone who is shackled and blindfolded and < < < walking with two armed guards behind razor wire. < < < This picture tells them they are treated unfairly. < < < < < < Here is what I see.... < < < < < < I see a thin, sickly looking person who under severe < < < mental duress from being bombed, was cleaned up, < < < given a haircut to prevent infestation of parasites, < < < and given new clothes and shoes to wear. I see a < < < person who is given three nutrious meals per day < < < and a bed to sleep in in a tropical climate, not the < < < cold desert floor of Afghanistan, eating worms, < < < bugs, and goat. I see a person who will be able to < < < get relief from their pains and illnesses without < < < paying a dime for medical expenses. They will get < < < rest, educated, and their mental stress levels will < < < have dropped tremendously because they were < < < taken out of a combat area and will not be shot < < < at again. < < < < < < I see these people blindfolded and shackled behind < < < razor wire. I have the intellectual ability to understand < < < why they are this way. For those that do not have this < < < ability, let me explain it to you. They are blindfolded to < < < protect OUR U.S. SOLDIERS from further harm. These < < < people can not plan to destroy something if they can not < < < see it. They are shackled because these same people < < < have proven they will easily give up their lives to kill < < < just ONE AMERICAN. We are protecting their life as < < < well as our own. The razor wire is a mental deterrent, < < < just like the little alarm company warning signs most of < < < you out there have on your home, but don't have the < < < actual alarm system. You would think many times over < < < before actually trying to cross that razor wire. < < < For all of you people out there thinking how bad < < < these poor detainees have it under such strict guard, < < < you need to do a lot more thinking about other things < < < in your life. < < < < < < I was born on September 11th, 1966, and every birthday < < < I have from now on will never be a happy one. < < < Why, do you ask? Because as I am out somewhere trying < < < to have a nice dinner, someone will have a candle or a < < < ribbon or something, crying about the anniversary of a < < < national tragedy. And then I will think, about how < < < insignificant my one little birthday actually is compared < < < to everything else that had happened on that one day. < < < < < < It boggles my mind that there are actually people out < < < there in this world, in leadership positions, head of < < < companies that actually think that we are doing < < < something wrong when it comes to protecting our < < < nation and our people. < < < < < < These same people will be the first ones to complain < < < about something that happens to them when they are < < < vacationing outside this country. They will ask why the < < < U.S. does not do anything about their misfortune. < < < These are the same people that complain about taxes < < < and how bad their lives actually are. < < < < < < If you receive this email, please pass it on to everyone < < < in your address book. I am not afraid or ashamed to < < < speak my peace. I am an American, my father fought < < < for this country, and was willing to die for it. < < < < < < Dr. Steven Tomaselli < < < Uvalde, Texas < < < United States of America < < < <
