Ollie North is talking about this right now on Sean Hannity's show.
"If you were men you would show your faces, and take us on in a fair fight. Instead, you are cowards who hide behind masks and decapitate helpless victims. If you truly represented the interest of the Iraqi people you would not be ambushing those who come to your country to repair your power plants, or sabotage the oil pipelines which fuel the Iraqi economy. Your agenda is hate, plain and simple."
and what of our brave attacks from the air? hardly what i'd call a courageous face-to-face with the "enemy" ... and what these people have seen of us american "saviors" are prison abuse, violence, and hatred (like this letter).
when our guys act like idiots, we say, "but they don't speak for us! they're a demented few!" but when THEIR guys act like idiots, we're ready to level a country. such hypocrisy makes me gag (more illogical "the ends justify the means" b.s.) ...
yes, let's do talk about a "fair" and manly fight ... hand to hand combat, why not?
i daresay that if any (ANY) american city had been treated the way we have the entire country of iraq (and afghanistan for that matter), there would be no one calling our attackers "saviors" ...
not to mention that most of the military enlisted men (those actually fighting, not "supervising" from relative safety) did NOT join to be manly men slaying the enemy ... they were desperate, ill-educated men and women trying to find a way out of poverty through the golden promises of their local recruiters.
