To the OP, didn't you know that after WW2 we made it criminal to win wars? Safe refuge is guaranteed for all who murder our soldiers so long as they blend into the general population.

"War is not sterile"...

War is the means some have used to rid infection from the world's organs. How or what means to effect that sterilization can, I suppose, run the course from Tylenol to Nuclear Medicine. I suppose all that is reasonable.. Only issue of concern is when one's neighbor comes into someone's home and begins treatment and does so with out even allowing the treated to get a second opinion. Or worse yet... begins to amputate or use some other invasive technique under the guise of 'treatment' and finds in 'hind sight' that the body really did need that heart, lungs and brain... but .. what the heck.. the infection is gone...

In my mind if you are going to wage war, the enemy is the enemy and they all deserve to die. If they truly wanted to be free they would take up arms and kill all the terrorists. Apparently they dont really want to be free. I think a new message is blowing in the wind and we will get out of Iraq one way or another. This stupid way of making war where you try to be nice to all the civilians does not work. We should have destroyed Baghdad till there was not one brick upon another, and completely wiped out the Sunni Triangle leaving no one alive. Now the Sunni's are trying to stir up a civil war. Normally the US would stay out of a civil war. I say if they want a civil war lets just pull out. Destroy all the Oil facilities till there is nothing left but sand and leave.

Sounds a bit harsh, but if they want to live in the stone age, let them live in the stone age.

We could just leave. They will probably just kill each other. Let them kill each other instead of us.

Yes, mass murder is always the proven method to get people to flock to your side. By your reasoning, we should have just wiped out every last German, Italian, and Japanese person after WWII, because hey, if they wanted to be free, they would done something about it.

I can't believe that someone beyond a bloodthirsty idiot would actually think of something that stupid, nice to see I've been proven wrong. So do you wave to your nazi flag in the morning, or at night?
