How? Did Bush tell those GI's to shoot the kid? Why does Bush's gesture have to be conditional? Why is it seemingly mandatory to rain on every parade that passes by?<br><br>And since when is war — or anything remotely related to it — glossy?<br><br>

"And since when is war — or anything remotely related to it — glossy?"<br><br>When you experience it through the eyes of the press/media and not from a soldiers!<br><br>

Re: 'you come off as someone who "knows the truth is out there" ala X-Files.'<br><br>Have you been peeking in my hard drive? <br><br>You ain't getting no truth out of there without an admin password, buddy. <br><br><br><br>

That's sad. However I could understand mistaking someone carrying a tree branch for someone carrying a firearm from a distance... <br><br>It's easy for us to judge from our armchairs. The snipers have been disguising themselves as women, etc... This is war. War s~cks. <br><br>

I am guessing that they first shot a girl cause they thaught she had a fire-arm, and then when they realized their mistake, they had to shoot the other girl as she had seen everything. <br>This just shows the stress that the soldiers are under every second of the day there. You don't know who is who anymore, and you have no idea where the next bullet is going to come from.<br>In a war, at least you know where to shoot and when and who you are shooting at. In a silent war, you are lost and you have no idea where your ennemy is or who he is. <br>Totally sad though, I just felt a big turn over in my stomack.<br><br>As for attacking Iraq making it more peacefull in the US, hmm, the US has many more ennemies, and how is that protecting your own country when 3/4 of your soldiers are on the other side of the planet. If you want to protect your car, are you going to install the alarm in your neighbor's house? And if your house is going to catch on fire, are the firefighters going to throw water of gas on it?<br><br><br>___________________________________________<br>I'm just another Mac user at an 8 hour day Dilbert style cubicle job....<br>

re: 'I am guessing that they first shot a girl cause they thaught she had a fire-arm, and then when they realized their mistake, they had to shoot the other girl as she had seen everything.'<br><br>You really think they shot the other girl because she had seen everything? They turned the girl's body over to the Police. If they were trying to hide anything they wouldn't have done that. Those soldiers must be devastated over what happened. <br><br>I think you watch too many movies. <br><br>

How else would you describe what happened?<br><br>I didn't say that for sure, I just think that might be a way it could have happened. Then again, they might have shot the 2 girls at the same time. Either way, its really sad.<br><br>___________________________________________<br>I'm just another Mac user at an 8 hour day Dilbert style cubicle job....<br>

Hey...where would YOU like to fight this war...in your backyard and someone else's? As my Dad told me "Don't go where you can't swim". And as for your armchair soldiering...drive on doing what you do,,,<br><br>

Once again, what is the reason the US is fighting IRAQ? Who started the fight? Did the UN approve the invasion? <br><br>___________________________________________<br>I'm just another Mac user at an 8 hour day Dilbert style cubicle job....<br>

Thanks for the reply to the PM. yawn...<br>I guess you and others were not aware that I am in fact a real-live human being.<br><br>If anyone spoke to me this way in the "real world" I would probably punch them in the face.<br><br>THIS IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD:<br>I say my opinion, you disagree. Rather than ask me why I think this way and have an open discussion, you say I am wrong. You discredit me, you call me "names" and make assumptions. Would it be hard for you to explain the reason why you disagree?<br><br>Yeah "the truth is out there"<br>I am such a fool. Life under the sun is a disappointing waste of time. People are vacant and repulsive. We are choking the earth, we are choking ourselves, we are fooling ourselves. History is bloody, the future is black. People can only hear themselves talking. Things are getting worse. I would hang myself if only I had a rope. Human nature is polluted.<br><br>By the way, what an insightful comment "if your skin is that thin"<br>You must be a freaking genius! Did you figure that out all on your own? Good for you...<br>my secret, there it is~<br><br>
