My God people.....mellow out.
We are at War, Like it or lump it.
War creates violence, and people die.
War creates stresses beyond human endurance, and people break.
War is not a clean little affair, and is full of atrocities.
Iraqis have murdered Americans.
Americans have murdered Iraqis.
Both sides have made mistakes, and will make more.
Torture is unacceptable, but that wont stop it.
We will all Bitch about the entire thing, long after it is over.
The actions of a few, do not reflect the attiude of the whole.
On either side.
One thing to remember- We INVADED Iraq , most likely on what will be percieved as false pretences. They will be pissed, just as we would be. It will do nobody justice or be of any help to make matters worse by acting below civilized standards, but we will anyway, because.........That is war.
