You don't have any idea what you'd do or not do. I'm nt a supporter of corpse mulitation, but I'll tell you what. An iraqui who dies when a US bomb blows up his yje building he's in dies the exact same horrible death as folks in the trade towers did. The mother's and siblings, husbands and wives and children left behind suffer exactly the same way. I don't think where the bombs came from brings the dead back to life or eases the suffering of the survivors. And here's the thing; Iraqis didn't fly the damn planes into the twin towers. So it's possible they think their dead are innocent victims, just the way we think of our dead.

I'm sure lots of Iraqis still hate Sadaam. But I doubt anyone who's friends or children are dead because of us wants to thank us for their deaths.

You know how you feel about the people in Fallujah? That's exactly how they feel about us. That's how they're able to mess around with corpses. I'm glad your sure you'd never do anything like that. The thing is, you don't have to. Your part of a nation that can mutilate corpses from the air.

Who gives a crap how Moore phrases it? Does W. need to repudiate Anne Coulter? Screw that nonsense. Michael Moore is a commentator. This is still America and he, like Coulter can say whatever the hell he wants. Getting all wiggy about Sontag or Moore or Coulter or Limbaugh is a sideshow and confusing it for meaningful beyond the entertainment of having your views confirmed or getting righteously angry (both of which I sometimes enjoy) is a disservice to dead serviceman and dead Iraqis.

Are the insurgents the minutemen? To me, no. To a redcoat in the revolutionary war, don't be so sure. But what's the magic number before this is an uprising and not 'dead enders' and 'holdouts' and 'foreign fighters'.

And for those of you who think that this was ever in any way even remotely about toppling a dictator, I remind you, many of the same people in this administration worked side by side with Sadaam when he was a dictator. many of our current alies in the 'war on terror' are dictators. The world is fucking chock a block with dictators. If you think America should be in the business of toppling dictators because of who and what they are you should seriosuly look at any warm fuzzy feelings you have for W. and crew because they are just fine with dictators.

Moore? Coulter? Sontag? Limbaugh? Spleen venters with a pulpit some of whom I generally like and some of whom I generally loathe.

W? A man who controls the army of the worlds only superpower. I'm not wasting my time worrying about what paid pundits lather about. hat's for writting comedy about.
