Dude, what coalition forces? Are you making a joke? There are only American forces interspersed with a few foreign soldier liasons to make it look good. I'm only giving the non-American forces the respect that they are due. You can ignore the other countries that were involved in the invasion of Iraq if you want, but that's just ignoring reality. I'm sure their citizens that are in Iraq don't share that view. There are roughly 140k soldiers in Iraq. What percent do you think are non American......1%, maybe 2%. How do you get coalition out of that number? After all, aren't you the one who is a stickler for accuracy? Only a myth based hawk would call them coalition forces. Tell that to the non-American forces in Iraq. I don't think they will see your twisted version of reality. I would if I could find any. As for a humanitarian tragedy, nothing will change.....the tragedy started from day one of the war. Go ahead and weep for the head choppers. You'll find no commiseration from me. I think the removal of Saddam's regime from our planet is a great thing, and the jihadist's decision to blow up their fellow Muslim's with car bomb is a horrible thing, and that they (the perpetrators of the violence) are fully responsible for it. Dude, you need a wake up call. This is what the average Iraqi has experienced since Day One of the war......if its not a humanitarian tragedy, I don't know what is.....some pics straight from the liberation of the Iraqi people: einswine.com Yes, I know.......the war has proven to be an incredible opportunity for the Iraqis. For some, its a chance to practice their English. For others, its an opportunity to learn a new foreign language. For still others, its a way of seeing how much abuse the average human can take before s/he breaks down. If I wasn't so busy with school, I would spend a year over there......just for a shot at the enlightenment one must feel after 12 months in sunny, historic, relevent Iraq. Its too bad the Iraqis didn't grow up with GI Joe.....think of all the practice they could have had ahead of time. Aren't myth based stories so much cooler than reality, Mr. Hawk? 1,2,3,4 we don't want your frigging war!
