Let's be fair. In previous posts I gave the reasons why I support the war in Iraq. This is a different question. The US military is not responsible for hundreds of thousands of people dead. Today the UN released a report saying the Iraqi death toll was about 34,000 in 2006, the headline in my local paper blamed Bush's invasion. I was shocked. Terrorists make a choice to kill women, children, elderly, red cross workers, and other non-military personnel - but we get blamed like we are forcing people to kill their fellow country men and women.

Being made more complicated than it seems. How can you even bring yourself to type something like that? This is exactly the sort of sentiment that gives Americans the reputation of being obtuse.

It is not difficult. When people say they want to kill me, my family, friends - simply because of our national origin - it is pretty simple and I take it serious. Don't you?
