The kids in the USA would look just like that if the soldiers weren't over canceling their leaders ugly asses. It's a shame the little guys get in the middle and I feel bad for the losses. Take a look around and show me how many kids their kamakazee bombers wiped out. Wake up and smell the roses, Its not the Iraquis the military is after. Its the militants which are not Iraquis that are causing the problem. If there were a bunch of killers running around your town blowing up your friends, wouldn't you want someone to do something about it. If your local police didn't do something about it, you would call the Sheriff, if they couldn't do something about it you would call the State Police, and if they couldn't stop the bad guys, wouldn't you hope someone, anyone, would do SOMETHING? So your government is corrupt and is making money off your suffering, either from your labor skills or some other means and they are not interested in stopping the mayhem anytime in the near future. Now a capable country sends in some help to rid your community of those nerdowells that are rapeing pillaging and plundering your community. How do you repay them for risking their lives? Or do you? Or do you just sit there and complain because in order to get the bad guys, someone stepped on your lawn, God forbid. Or maybe your dog or cat got in the way and was run over by the badguys getaway vehicle. Do you throw the whole rescue team out because a few pets lost their lives. Meanwhile the badguys step up the harrassment to make a point about wanting to stay and wipe out a few citizens, yes and a few babies, now do you call it quits? Remember, the badguys are still out there blowing up stuff whenever they want. In every fight there is always a loss, and loosers. Is the fight being waged worth winning or is it not worth loosing? You have to decide what the end result will bring. People who wage war for the sake of religeon, seldom win. People who invade and occupy other countries just to gleen their natural resources, may win for a while but it is not easily held. Concider the Jews held by Egypt for 300 years, the Egyptians lost profoundly. They lost so badly, it changed the course of Egyptian history. Concider India and how England occupied it for so many years. All the scrapping and humiliation to the aboriginals. England left but it was not pretty. Japan set out to conquor the South seas and had her eye on capuring the USA, bad decision. The USA wasn't interested in colonizing Japan, just wanted to trade goods. The list goes on and on and on and on and on and on. We just happen to be the good guys in this case and the general citizenry is glad we are there. The bad guys are pissed because they can no longer exploit the citizenry. As the bad guys get exterminated, there WILL be colateral damage. If you don't want your kids hurt, keep them out of the streets. Grow up and get a life. You cannot have it both ways. If you want to surrender, get the hell out of the USA and go over and join the bad guys and see if they treat you any better than you have it here. And by the way, take all your other liberal friends with you. I'm sure Al Quaida, or however you spell it, will be needing all the help he can get.
