123 people have no hearts for this poor little girl, who's brother is overseas fighting in war!

I wish her all the best. )'': <3

@cheycrazy100 She's a child...post your videos, and your story. See if it compares. Damn - let her cope how she needs to cope. If singing helps her feel better, let her belt her little heart out. Maybe the family posts the vids for family (her brother, perhaps?) that can't be there to really see her sing. The bad part abt that is, that ppl like you come along and put down an innocent little girl. Props to her...hopefully she sings thru the haters.

@roxane217 Honestly I don't think you understand politics. We dont just jump into every country because they have a bad leader but when Innocent civilians are endagered we will fight. I could care less about the poverty or crime but seeing defenseless people gunned down by TRAINED professionals isn't right. I can't understand why everyone thinks its America's fault fer some people doing what they want as a leader. We dont control every government.

@l0n3st4r45 you did understand,you''re just pretending you didn't because you don''t have an answer.Why isn't America helping Cuba? That country has been sanctioned on numerous occasions for extreme dictatorship, for not respecting human rights.Oh yeah, because unlike Iraq, Cuba doesn't have oil

[kristinbridget]

Heather, if your brother is STILL serving I am praying. I lost my brother, and it's the most heartbreaking moment. What I wouldn't give to have him back...

@sweetypie000 Heh, well if ya made sense people might take ya seriously but the only thing i understood was America. Maybe when ya get a degree in US history along with Foreign History then we can talk ;)

[sweetypie000]

why arnt the USA pharmacutical companys giving free medication / tablets / aid to africans with AIDS ? because the black kids don't have a $1 a day to give to the USA that's why.

FACT.

@l0n3st4r45 America only ever does anything for another country if theres short-term or long-term profit in it.

WW1 - they helped when it was obvious if they didn't that they too would be next to ultimately be conqoured - just like their slow appearence to assist in the late stages of WW2.

"Where was everyone when 9/11 happened? or How about Pearl Harbor? Try me." easy, they were manmade by your government, You caused those to happen by actions.

"Katrina" ?? - Pompeii, get a life m8.

[l0n3st4r45]

@sweetypie000 Darlin you underestimate what America has done and still does. I serve in the best Air Force because we help countries in time of need. World war 1 ring a bell? or how about world war 2? better yet how about Haiti, or Thailand? We always are the first to send hep to a country in dire need. But we won't be pushed around by a few "brave" men who are willing to kill innocent people. Where was everyone when 9/11 happened? or when Katrina hit? How about Pearl Harbor? Try me.
