I doubt it will do any good to comment on it. It never has before. But they do say miracles never cease. Let us hope so.

I was just discussing this with someone else- and we were talking about the symbolism of using "American" airlines for 9/11. These guys appear love their symbols as we do (think Mr Bush in a flight suit on a carrier deck), but some people in this country have trouble understand the use of symbols by our enemy. That's a big weak point- if you can't understand what drives the enemy, you can't plan as well. ANY symbol in Iraq, with US ties, but especially with US religious ties, should be specially protected - and we can't think about "religious" from our point of view, we need to try to figure out how they, our enemy, see it.

I also think anything with a cross on it doesn't belong in Iraq. It's like a red flag to a bull, and pretty stupid.

I agree with your post. Irrespective of one's political beliefs, it can't be that difficult to just come out and abhor this type of tactic.
