I got this fwd. from my aunt. This is why our country is going to the gutters, this is why innocent people across the world die everyday, it is because of this hate towards a few people that millions have died needlessly. It may not seem like a hate felt letter, but think about it. They don't want to move on, they want revenge at any cost. They say defeat or be defeated, I don't think things are as clear cut as that. There's always another option, our country is just upset because it's big bad pride has been hurt. This person doesn't care about honoring those who died, they only want to be best country again. > This article was written by Tamara "Tammy" Hall, "The Montana Motivator". > Tammy is a well known motivational speaker from Bozeman, Montana. > > I sat in a movie theater, watching "Shindler's List," and asked myself, "Why > didn't the Jews fight back?"
