It is either collective madness or collective, diabolical possession. Or both. This fits the category of psychotic serial killers. "Slashers." The typical personality profile of terrorists ties in with paranoid schizophrenia and unhinged, extreme sado-masochism. The legal term is "criminally insane." But this is almost a whole civilization given over to these tendencies. That's barbarism in any book.

The slashers in Iraq had decent paying long term jobs under Saddam, Saddam didn't have these sick f**ks killing Iraqis for religious reasons. They did it to destroy the will of their enemies. They are sick f**ks who built a discipline and career out of murder and torture, and well know the effects it had on the hapless Iraqi population. They want to not just push out our presence in their country, they want to invade our souls with the fear they thrived on, the fear they used to control the Iraqis.

Any means necessary to destroy them, but there are millions of Iraqis who went through decades of this, tens of thousands who searched throughout the country when it was liberated searching for their loved ones, never seen from, or heard from again, who know the pain personally, who lost their loved ones to the same group of murderers, to the same blade.

We show weakness, they Iraqis who are 30 years deep the victims of torture, will see their reaction to cower in fear was the same as the Americans, their individual and collective choice of crawling as slaves instead of standing as free men, will be validated. The g-d damn Democrats and US and World media are doing the same as for what they did for Ho Chi Minh. And it proves again the US military is fighting the last war, at least on the mass media aspects.

On that note, Shinseki was right, and our loved ones in Iraq now pay the consequences. Contractors should not have those assignments, US military engineers, or US contractors with military escorts, the footprint that Shinseki proposed.
