We are not killing innocent people. We are killing known terrorists bottled up in places like Fallujah. There have been many unfortunate deaths as a result of the battles. Mostly, the death of innocent people in Iraq is the result of suicide bombs from the terrorists. Iraqi forces are leading the attacks against these terrorist groups with the full support of US military forces. Now, the press continues to blame the internal conflicts in Iraq on a lack of sufficient troops. On one level, the press supports the liberal notion that we should not be there. On the next level, the press argues that we should have taken more troops to contain the violence from the terrorists more effectively. You just can't win with the liberals. I think liberal dogmas are hypocrisy. I cannot accept a line of logic that supports it's enemies just to attack the conservative leaders that they so utterly despise. It almost makes me think that liberals entertain support for Bin Laden's "cause" against the US.

Hello GST, You may hold your truths to be dear, I have no objection, but when I suggest a change in direction or tone in the discussion, I'm doing my job as I see it. I'm simply suggesting that hot rhetoric is often counterproductive and in many cases it can be a complete conversation stopper. I appreciate the many contributions you have made and the thoughtful passion with which you express your commentary. Regards, --fl
