Question of the Day
Where is the outrage and worldwide media investigation about the American and allied countries' civilians killed in Iraq? The outrage is all about the "poor" known terrorists in Gitmo (outdoors and walking around free), not about the men who have been fighting FOR freedom and liberty against the terrorists--and who probably are innocent--but are currently sitting in the Camp Pendleton brig in shackles.It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. --US President Theodore Roosevelt, From a speech given in Paris at the Sorbonne in 1910
