Your forgetting, SF, that in war, murder is par for the course. That is why so many people in both of our nations abhor war. It turns humans back into the animals we otherwise pretend not to be.
I think most americans will never be able to relate to having two factions, neither of which you particularly care for, fighting on the streets of your city with little or no regard for innocent people. The thought sickens me.
One a side note, it sickens me even more that so many who were so hawkish going into this lack the courage and the conviction to take personal responsibilty and join up. I think it is extremely hypocritical to scream for a war you are unwilling to participate in in any meaningful way.
Anyways, both sides are doing what they think is the right thing to do, and therefore consider themselves morally superior to the other. Meanwhile, the civilians are caught in between.
