  • Hello, my name is Matthew Lexow, Sgt, US Army, Ret. I accidentally signed your antiwar veteran list. I understood it to be a forum and said my piece -- which you may not like. I would like to retract my statement and the addition of my name to your list. Please let me know the results of this inquiry -- will you take my name off of the list, Please? Thank you much for your help, I respect your position as you should mine.

    As for positions, I do believe there is a worldwide threat of terrorism that needs to be thwarted. I also believe that is a direct affect of the ILLEGAL OCCUPATION OF PALESTINE BY ISRAEL. Until this occupation is ended, the threat will escalate. It is only OBVIOUS! The backing of Israel by the United States, militarily, direct money and billions of dollars directly from religious organizations here in the states, makes us THE PRIME TARGET FOR TERRORISM! It will continue, no matter what happens in Afghanistan and Iraq. Until the threat of Israel is removed. Until then, I feel we must back any efforts to thwart these terrorists. It is not the fault of the President, nor the military. In the words of Jews and Christians, "it is ordained". That Israel be born of fire and death. The "return of Christ" cannot happen until such time that the "Temple" is rebuilt. This will not happen without Armageddon, the Judeo-Christian goal and destiny. This can be stopped, but only with the cooperation of and realization by these folks that Armageddon is NOT imminent, inevitable. Please add THIS to your list of protests. Thank you much, Sgt Matthew Lexow, US Army, Ret.
