Rick, the fact that there are wars going on doesn't require people to check their brains at the local government department.

<There is a WAR going on between Islamofacsists and the rest of the world deemed infidels.

When war occurs innocent people die. No big deal compared to the soldiers who die volunteering to protect our liberty.

I think the "innocent people" might have a different view of the value of their lives.

It's a stretch to think that soldiers in Iraq are protecting "our" liberty. One can make a small argument along those lines and I have done so, but liberty is far more at threat for me personally from the suffocatocracy and smothering of freedom in NZ by our government. People go on voting for more of it, like turkeys voting for more Thanksgiving days.

It's also a stretch to say that there was a war going on when the air marshals shot the guy who was mentally disturbed.
