UW, on a different note, me thinks our troops may need some additional training in dealing with the new phenomena of "War on TV" : I just watched a clip on TV, where some Iraqis were demonstrating in front of US troops, asking for law and order to be restored. One soldier responded quite audibly on TV "we're here to fight for your f'in freedom, so shut the f' up".

I can understand the instinctive desire to make such a comment, but when the world on TV is watching it made, it does not reflect well.
