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.

We are to blame for invading and crippling the social structure that kept this violence at bay. It is our war, our responsibility and we are to blame.

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?

Who in Iraq vowed to kill you, your family and friends?
Flimsy rhetoric finds no purchase here. Sorry. Save it for the water cooler.
