Hi all; You think I'm over the top? Another God fearing right wing "Carl" very much against the Iraq war: 181 And Counting: I Told You So Carl Worden, SeirraTimes, June 6, 2003 ... What is a life worth to you psychopaths, anyway? Was this almost as entertaining as watching gladiators fight to the death in the Coliseum for you? And hey, we've got this here all volunteer Army now, so it's not like the people we sent to their needless deaths and endless painful existences didn't have a pretty good idea of what they were getting into, right?

The people of Iraq are not like us. They understand and accept ruling regimes, to the extent that they will fight and die to establish a regime as brutal and just as harsh as Saddam’s, only this time to the advantage of some other faction. It is their nature and it is their culture and that’s just the way it is. Further, they’ve got the weapons to eventually make it happen. They are going to defeat the Coalition one dead soldier at a time, just like I warned you they would. ... sierratimes.com -- Carl P.S.
