[Rhodes22-list] Fwd: Hello from IraqiKurdistan!(political)

[TN Rhodey]

Phillip,

You say they are not fighting from freedom from US occupation "they are just 
striking out at an organization that does not put them in power." Yeah I 
guess that is really something different.... I said several I don't think 
they are freedom fighters. However they think their cause is just and in 
their minds it makes sense. Do you really read my posts?
