<<<Otherwise why would you validate a series of "Bill" posts that defend the U.S. chopper-caused deaths of about 40 simple Iraqis at a wedding as qualifying the wedding party for a "Darwin Award?">>>


"The coalition troops came under hostile fire and "close air support was provided," the statement said. The troops recovered weapons, Iraqi and Syrian currency, some passports and some satellite communications gear, it said.>>

I can relate to that. If I went to a wedding at 3 AM in a desert full of terrorists, I would be sure to take some automatic weapons, cash, a passport and some radios( in case the wedding is boring) or if I'm asked to leave town.
Doubt if I would shoot at a US helicopter tho.

Unlike you, Neocon is an independent thinker. He agrees or disagrees with opinions, not posters. He doesn't demonize or dismiss based solely on the politics of the person posting the opinion. That's one of the reasons he bothers to converse with you.

Bill and I have occasionally had some big fights, while remaining friendly. In this case, your analogy was bullsh**, and his was much more appropriate.
