The fundamentalist Moslems are as human as everybody else. They are not the first "excitable boys" our military has been sent to deal with. In fact, in the 20th century, most of our opponents have been that way. The Germans were the master race. The Japanese fought for a God on Earth. And then were the mindless Communists in several varieties and the soldiers fighting for the "Mother of all Battles" guy. Bilow, how are we any different? The joke in the rest of the world is that "we are God's people and we are doing God's work". Try to look at it from the other side. They're petrified. We're the cowboys who raise their kids to shoot game at 6 (read any Texas small town newspaper for the kiddie first deer kill announcements), play hand-eye coordination combat shootem ups at the video arcade from 4 to 18, and then become 6'6" 220 lb football players. Our guys are trained for viciousness in ghettoes, or spend their youth practicing living off the land in the Boy Scouts. We don't have to teach them to drive and repair heavy armored vehicles, their dads already did that with the family SUV! From where is this misguided machismo coming? Compared to the Aghanis, Iraqis etc we are the soft underbelly of the world. When's the last time these good ole texas boys have gone without a roof over their heads, or killed to eat. The guys from the ghettoes may be a slightly better match but take them out of the city and they won't know what to do......or did you think this fight was to be fought on the streets of NYC. We will win based on our intellect, advanced technology and stronger commitment....at least that's what I am hoping. ted
