Cyberloon, you're such a unrelenting patriot, eager to bring glory upon the flag and all she stands for, and an intrepid history buff, I can't for the life of me figure out why you don't stop clipping daisies in Las Vegas and get busy in Baghdad. Go grab your helmet and flamethrower, put a knife between your teeth and do some real damage to those miserable Iraqis. C'mon there, you obviously view yourself a cross between Davy Crockett, George Patton and William Calley, get your skinny white butt over there to the desert and make a little history yourself. And if you're turned into a grease mark in some alley in Baghdad, well that's a price we will all have to bear to bring democracy to Basra and petrol to Dallas. Of course, if on the other hand, you are the miserable, cowardly chickenhawk we all know you to be, you should just stay sunken in your overstuffed easy chair urging on others to die so your can have another interesting History Channel series to watch next year. Otherwise, have a nice evening.

Last I checked, most countries (including the US) are against indiscriminate bombing of civilian populations. They also tend to frown on countries do so and lie baldfacely about it. If Kissinger were, say, Russian, and did such a thing, we'd say: well, that's the brutal Soviets for you. If a leader in a lesser country did so, we'd call for his head. But, if an American does it, it's ok because we're the good guys? That kind of twisted double-standard is part of the reason more and more people doubt that we really are the good guys.
