We are in THEIR country. Supporting their government against terrorist and headchoppers. We are the occupiers No, we were for a time but are no longer occupiers. Iraq has its own elected government. Can you imagine if Iraqis were occupying America and one of them raped and killed one of our fair 15 year-olds? If they had deposed a brutal thug who had ruled for three decades and now they where fighting violent fundamentalist terrorists who wanted to overthrow our democratically elected government, and they had exhibited a far greater than normal level or restraint and discipline; than while I would be angry at the rapist and those who helped him and covered up for him, it wouldn't be reasonable to project that in to hatred for the whole armed force. In any case I don't think anyone is rationalizing the crime. The rape and murder should not be "rationalized". It was simply wrong, and illegal, and the perpetrator should be punished. You would have to look long and hard to find someone who disagreed with that.
