I hate to say it but then we would be no better then them. I feel your pain and often wish for say a nuke to wipe Sadir and his whole city off the planet but then we truly are no better then them.

The only way this can work is for the good Iraqi people to realize that good can prevail. We will take added casualties and abuse taking this high road but it's the way it has to be.

I would also note that every soldier understands this and is willing to pay the higher price. I can promise you that the rank and file are horrified by these f-ing idiots that were carrying on at the prison whether they were ordered or not. Be that as it may I would not want to be the young lady and her boyfriend and the other dipshit. They will pay an even higher price then normal because we must show the Arab world that we won't put up with that nonsense even from our own.

I feel for them on a certain level as they were not trained for what they were being asked to do. This is a problem that goes higher up the food chain and heads will roll you can be sure.

I agree. Its hard to win a fight when you play by the Marquis Of Queensbury rules and the other guy is kicking, biting, gouging and hitting below the belt....
