Nice job. Portray the fine young men of our American military as baby killing, goose stepping thugs and terrorists. The "Useful Idiots" mantra abounds here. And its appalling. =========================================================== mjfdl, re: Invasion creates terrorism. Oh thats right...before the invasion they were just peaceful law abiding childrens day care workers and organic sheep farmers. Then we invaded Iraq...and "poof" they became mean old terrorists bent on giving up their lives because of American aggression. Yeah...thats the ticket! The only "poof" is in your head. You see "invasion" isn't just a word and neither is "occupation." There are guns involved, and sounds, and smells, and strangers who look different and don't speak your language. They break down doors and take people away. They tell you when to move, how to move and that you'll die if you don't follow their orders, even orders you don't understand. And they kill. You see babies blown into the air by missiles or bombs and hanging from power lines. You hear grieving, wailing women asking why Allah doesn't kill them all. Members of your own family and some of your friends are dead and you attend their funerals. Resentment and rage build inside you and eventually you become like an insect protecting the hive and you can think of only one thing; killing them. Now you're what they call a "terrorist" and what your people might call a resistance fighter. Now what is it about that very human process that you can't understand? "Poof," do you have it yet? Ed
