"War is Hell"
Yes it is unfortunate that people die in warfare, but it is also reality.
Yes it was an immoral way to treat the bodies of the dead, but it is warfare.
Yes we all have the right to be upset, and feel anger towards the perpetrators of such a henious act.
Yes they have the right to be upset, and feel anger towards the perpetrators of what they percieve as a henious act(occupation of homeland).
No, this war is not over, and there has been no "end to major hostilities", as proclaimed by the administration.
No, getting pissed and leveling a city of mostly innocent people will not prevent this from happening again.
No, Security forces in Iraq are not immune to attack, and are well aware of this, they are not civilians in any way as far as the Iraqis are concerned.
No, most Iraqis do not support the mutilation of corpses, but are likely getting less tolerant of a brutal occupation.
In short, this is a war. People will die. It will never be pretty, and anyone who didn't see this sort of thing coming probably has a limited understanding of the realities in Iraq.
We all have a limited understanding of the realities in Iraq.
