1. Do you think these innocent people are being targeted, or are they being targeted due to reasonable suspicion or cause?
2. Do you happen to have any numbers on the frequency of this behavior? How often exactly are we "raiding houses, beating innocent people, tear gassing, etc."??? Is this something you've seen heavily documented, or is it something you just assume is going on?

I think it's a lose-lose situation, you don't. I'm fine with that, but don't expect me to stay out of every thread you start or post in because I've disagreed with you in the past on this or other issues.

I think war sucks, and i didn't vote for the guy who started it. I protested the war in NYC during the largest public protests against this war around the world. I was sick when we invaded.
With that being said, I don't think this is a lose-lose situation. I think it's a difficult one, but one that could have outstanding strategic possibilities for us, as well as for the middle east. I've already talked about why I think Iraq can and will succeed if given the necessary support, so I'm not getting into that again.
