Which ones are you referring to Mikey? If you are referring to, say, fanatical Sadaam supporters, for example, I must strongly disagree. It is unfortunate that they have been misled as to support an evil despot, but there are many in this war who have been misled, and I do not wish death upon any of them. |
Sorry, monkspider, but you have a bit of a naive view of these people, at least the ones I'm referring to. "Misled" individuals I don't have a problem with. For example, the professional officers who lead troops in the conscript divisions. Many of them fight out of a sense of patriotism and professional pride. They "support" the regime, but they see it as professional duty and a matter of patriotism.
The alphabet soup of Iraqi "security" and "intelligence" agencies, and many of the Baath party leadership, as well as the regime leadership, are brutal, sadistic SOB's who are accountable to noone. These are the people who execute families to intimidate others into line, thinking of what may happen to their own family. These are people who torture and murder, willingly, and without restraint. These are people who enforce "military discipline" among underfed and hopeless conscripts by means of summary executions, and the aforesaid retaliation against family members. It's tragic that they've become what they've become. I'm sure as a six month old baby, or a two year old toddler, even Saddam Hussein was cute, but somewhere along the way, things went wrong.
We all die some time, and some of us don't do much more than eat, sleep, poop and reproduce. Some of us contribute something positive to the world and leave a positive legacy. Some contribute little or nothing positive, and leave a legacy of pain and misery. Removing this latter type from the planet isn't tragic, the tragedy is that they ever became that type of excuse for a human being.

This I agree with wholeheartedly Mikey, and I would say that you will be pleasently surprised one day.  |
I'm far too much of a cynic to believe in any country of significance having a humanitarian and enlightened foreign policy, but I applaud your optimistic and idealistic nature.
Kramerman - thanks.

Conservatives with no ambition may feel that way, but I feel that we should take both eyes, all the fingers, toes, lips, ears, tongue and of course balls. Mom always said I was a go-getter!

Pfc. Jessica Lynch, rescued Tuesday from an Iraqi hospital, fought fiercely and shot several enemy soldiers after Iraqi forces ambushed the Army's 507th Ordnance Maintenance Company, firing her weapon until she ran out of ammunition, U.S. officials said yesterday.
Lynch, a 19-year-old supply clerk, continued firing at the Iraqis even after she sustained multiple gunshot wounds and watched several other soldiers in her unit die around her in fighting March 23, one official said. The ambush took place after a 507th convoy, supporting the advancing 3rd Infantry Division, took a wrong turn near the southern city of Nasiriyah.
"She was fighting to the death," the official said. "She did not want to be taken alive."
Lynch was also stabbed when Iraqi forces closed in on her position, the official said, noting that initial intelligence reports indicated that she had been stabbed to death. No official gave any indication yesterday, however, that Lynch's wounds had been life-threatening.
