Please don't blame the lawyers. Blame Colin Powell's US Department of State, and the "hearts and minds" garbage that has been *killing* our servicemen.

The hearts and mind theory and the nanny state are one and the same. It doesn't work in this country and there is no reason it will work in other countries. The idea that gimmee is freedom and democracy is bullsh*t. Freedom is the individual standing on his own two feet and making decisions to better his own surroundings. We would have far less problems in Iraq if the people were busy rebuilding their country.

Instead we follow the hearts and minds theory, rush our favorite contractors over to do the heavy lifting while the Iraqis are idle. Idle people in any society get dissatisfied and we create our own problems in this manner. Our socialist leadership in all branches of government, including the military, need an attitude adjustment to what freedom really is. They have no clue.
