Why is it a stretch for you to believe that a missile intended say for the Ministry of Communications hits a market place in a poor neighborhood by accident? It isn't a stretch; it could happen. But it is more likely that either (a) an Iraqi weapon went astray, or (b) Iraqis intentionally targeted their own neighborhood to have something to stir up the public with. Further, the DOD certainly seems credible when they say, "we don't believe that was our weapon". I believe the DOD before I do the Iraqi government. I'm sure you believe the Iraqi government first. I do? Where did I say that? As for the DOD, its comments on the first missile that killed 14 people was much like you said; however, to my knowledge they have not commented on the second missile killing. Where did you see that comment re the second missile? And please, stop trying to make me look like an Iraqi sympathizer like your friend, Harris, has pathetically tried to do. Once again when your position is in doubt or threatened, you rely on tried and true scare tactics. Was it then or when the US fought a losing war in Vietnam It had nothing to do with Vietnam. It was precisely when I said it was. I see. Then you are wrong precisely! Yeah, there's jealousy but mostly anger, indignation and fear. Fear? I don't think so. They are jealous of what we have. They want to be treated with respect. And they love to see the US get "punched in the nose". You don't think that people get fearful when they know another country can come in and take over? Isn't that why the Kuwaitis fear Saddam? What do you do with all that brain power you claim to have?
