Fw: ME TOO!!!
Subject: Fw: ME TOO!!!


I Don't Care

The lady who wrote this letter is Pam Foster of Pamela Foster
and Associates in Atlanta. She's been in business since 1980 doing
interior design and home planning. She recently wrote a letter to a
family member serving in Iraq....... Read it!

WHAT'S ALL THE FUSS?
"Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we?
Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to
our shores on September 11, 2001? Were people from all over the world,
mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan,
across the Potomac from our nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania?
Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a
horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?
And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was "desecrated"
when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet? Well, I
don't. I don't care at all.
I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and
repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.
I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East
start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in
Saudi Arabia.
I'll care when Abu Musab al-Zarqawi tells the world he is sorry
for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling
slashed throat.
I'll care when the cowardly so-called "insurgents" in Iraq come
out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by
hiding in mosques.
I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in
search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their
suicide bombs.
I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their
First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead
of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights.
In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine
roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care.
When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who
have been humiliated in what amounts to a college hazing incident, rest
assured that I don't care.
When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is
told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the
bank that I don't care.
When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer
mat, and fed "special" food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being "mishandled," you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts that I don't care.
And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled
"Koran" and other times "Quran." Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and ---- you guessed it - I don't care ! ! ! ! !
If you agree pass it on. Sooner or later, it'll get to the
people responsible for this ridiculous behavior! If you don't, then by
all means hit the delete button.
Should you choose the latter, then please don't complain when
more atrocities committed by radical Muslims happen here in our great country.
I am not deleting this, I am sending it on, but only after I add:

ME, TOO!

WHAT'S ALL THE FUSS?

"Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001? Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac from our nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania?

I'll care when Abu Musab al-Zarqawi tells the world he is sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling, slashed throat.

I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs.

I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights.

I'll care when Clinton-appointed judges stop ordering my government to release photos of the abuses at Abu Ghraib, which are sure to set off the Islamic extremists just as Newsweek's lies did a few weeks ago.

In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care.

When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a college hazing incident, rest assured that I don't care.

When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank that I don't care.

And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled "Koran" and other times "Quran." Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and — you guessed it — I don't care!" I don't give a sheet either about those sheet heads!!!!!

Origins: Although the article quoted above has come to be attributed to a Pam Foster, it is actually the work of Doug Patton, a freelance columnist and political speechwriter. The e-mail-circulated version leaves off his two opening paragraphs and adds a closing "I don't give a sheet either about those sheet heads!" statement that wasn't in his original, but it is otherwise a faithful copy of his article, which was first published on the gopusa.com web site on 6 June 2005 under the title "Ask Me if I Care About 'Mishandling' of Koran" and which has since been reproduced on a number of other web sites.

Pamela Foster said this of how her name came to be associated with Doug Patton's article:
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to let those of you that haven't contact me that I forwarded the "I Don't Care" to my nephew serving in Baghdad after someone forwarded it to me. I don't remember who that was, nor did I think much about it until I received long distance phone calls and lots of e-mail. Everyone has been nice except for some whacko who thinks this government planned and executed 9/11. I responded that we would take up a fund for him and we would send him to any country to live that wasn’t here! In any case, someone else let me know last week that a columnist named Doug Patton (google him) wrote the article and I notifed him of the response and what had happened when I forwarded the e-mail. I still don’t know how it got on the "NET", but I am glad. Lots of people have sent me thank yous and some have said they would send to their government representatives and more than one has told me they sent it to the President! WOW! Had no clue what I was getting started. Anyway, God Bless everyone and the USA!

Thanks Phantom, I usually check the credibility of e-mails I receive prior to sending them out - but I figured the credibility didnt really matter in this one....It was more or less my exact feelings, and I would think the feelings of so many others. I should of deleted the top portion of the 'letter', and just sent out the 'ill start caring...' lines to express my view without having to claim that this was an actuall letter to an American in the military. I got a chuckle out of alot of it as I read it and wanted to pass it on.....I would go back to the org post and delete some of the items, but I cant........

SORRY FOR NOT VERIFYING THE SOURCE TO ANY OF YOU WHO WOULD ONLY AGREE WITH THIS IF IT WERE TRUE......
