It's not a "big" difference when you consider that we are torturing Iraqis, imprisoning Iraqis, killing Iraqi women and Iraqi children. Whether it's because of "stress" or because hate groups are infiltrating the military is irrelevant.Quote:

I wager anyone in this country, especially the people in rural red states down South, would fight them.
Does it suck that they can televise beheadings and shit while we still act honorable and good? Yes... but thats the way the war needs to be fought. And, finally, considering the acknowledgement that this is a "war of hearts and minds", we are doing a pretty fucking shitty job of fighting it. It's just making things worse and you know it.
I read an article from the Army War College about how the French in Algieria didn't acknowledge the nationalistic element of the fighters there and thats why they lost. We are making the same mistake.

My favorite: "vigorous interrogation"
Close second, when the Gitmo detainees committed suicide, they were engaged in "asymetric warfare" against us.
I can't really express opinions well on this. I'm obviously against all terrorists, whether they be Al-Queda or US soldiers that are committing crimes over there as well. Right now, I just hope Criticom and his family are hanging in their. I remember him saying how shitty it was at one point with the news being at his house all the time and shit. Can't imagine what kind of crap they're going through, especially his mother...
As unbias as I try to be I have no sympathy for people wanting to bring a war here. Yeah I can be called bind-sighted but who would want bodies piling up in their home? After the leak of the Path Train bombing plot, I find it hard to care about the cause of these people.
We should pull out of their affairs and let them kill each other but right now we are there trying to minimize the blunders that we have caused. President Bush should realize that if we just ignore them Darwinism (?) will kick into high gear.
Truth: Darwin didn't much like his ideas applied to society.Quote:

Now, if we do that becuase we are taught, or if it is part of something deep inside us, that is anyone's guess.
What? All animals clean and help each other.
That is really classless to post in a place where Crit also posts.Quote:
