<<You're talking about bludgeoning and terrorizing the Iraqi population into submission. I am talking about this only because you wish me to be talking about it whether I am in fact talking about it or not.>> Yes, that is how i characterized your remarks. This is weird to talk about right now because some truly awful stuff may be going down. According to sky.com 130 SOLDIERS KILLED IN IRAQ - REPORTS A Pentagon source has said up to 130 US troops have been killed in fierce fighting in Iraq. The large scale battle, described as "intense", has taken place in the town of Ar Ramadi, 20 miles west of Fallujah. Sky News' David Chater said: "None of this is official yet - none of it is confirmed." But he added: "It sounds very much like this is being carried out by men who are militarily trained." Chater described the attack as "highly sophisticated". More follows... I really hope this is wrong, that the official number of 12 is right. But with 12 at your 600 to 1 payback ratio that means we need to take out 7200 "enemy" with extreme prejudice. Who are the "enemy?" 60% of Sunnis and Shiites oppose the coalition troops. What exactly are you suggesting? Steve Dietrich
