ya see the US military only sees things in black and white and it has lead to lots of bloodshed.
here is an example.
Let's take cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. His father was killed by Saddam Insane. There is a ghetto in Baghdad, population 1/3 of all of the city, called Sadr City in his honor. The US thinks, take Saddam out, and his son and all his followers will love us. It will be like WW2, they will throw roses at our feet. Right? Wrong.
BAGHDAD, Iraq - The U.S. military said Saturday it killed 18 gunmen believed loyal to radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr in Baghdad, and jet fighters bombarded militia positions on the capital's outskirts. Skirmishes persisted in the southern holy cities of Najaf and Karbala.
The U.S. military also announced the deaths of five soldiers, including three killed by rebel attacks. In northern Iraq, rebels fired a mortar round at an Iraqi army recruiting center, killing four volunteers, hospital officials said.
U.S. troops are trying to disband the cleric's army and sideline its radical leadership before handing power to a new Iraqi government June 30. Al-Sadr is a fierce opponent of the U.S.-led occupation who launched an uprising last month and faces an arrest warrant in the death of a rival moderate cleric last year.
I know this is all getting old. Me and my anti-war protests, I'm almost starting to sound like a high school art teacher who doesn't bathe. I just don't like death. The killing of young people. And no matter what Donny R says. he can't hate death as much as me because all this blood is his fault.
And George W. Bush is going to Hell. George W. being a born again, is that ironic?
black white and red all over

I remember hearing in school (for real!) that the Nazis all got laid too when they took over Paris. The French women left their men and started dating the Germans because they had money and nice things. That really depressed me about women for a while.
I don't Playboy is going to do a "Women of Baghdad" issue soon. They are probably all half dead from the last 20 years of sanctions, abuse, and war.
