Comments on: Ashley Gets Political… Seriously! http://www.diva-dirt.com/2008/05/25/ashley-gets-political-seriously/ Fri, 21 Nov 2008 03:21:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Michelle http://www.diva-dirt.com/2008/05/25/ashley-gets-political-seriously/#comment-886 Michelle Mon, 26 May 2008 16:19:32 +0000 http://www.diva-dirt.com/?p=416#comment-886 Thank you! Finally someone who does not just mourn the deaths of the soldiers but also the innocent lives they've taken. Most people are extremely close-minded and get all pissy over a troop dying compared to the 20 innocents that troop has probably killed. Thank you!

It's a big thing in America because *most* people oppose the war, but support the men and women over there regardless - it's an important distinction. Though, I do understand the frustration over the lack of support for the innocent lives taken in those areas too. A lot of people are still and will always be burned over 9/11 and can only see "terrorists" when they see someone of Middle Eastern descent. It's sad but true. I'm not saying Ashley thinks that way AT ALL, but it's definitely not focused on in America as much as it should be. Okay, enough political talk. This is getting too real for me. :P I’m all for troop support.
