Abu Musab Al Zarqawi is a Jordanian from Jordan but Palestine is close enough. Just so you understand my meaning that in my opinion fewer civilians would die in the long run if things were not drawn out. Better to get it over quickly. It's just my opinion. I don't think Lincoln ever wanted Lee to slip away. From what I've heard whenever Lee did slip away Lincoln was not happy about it.
Someone had posted an image, which seems to be gone now. The picture compared the terrorists in Falujah to the Americans fighting the British during the revolution. It is ridiculously anti-American to try to make such a comparison.(which may be why the image was stricken)
One man's terrorist IS NOT another man's freedom fighter when it comes to Islamic terrorism.
The American revolution was fought for freedom of all religion and freedom from the tyranny of taxation without representation. Muslim terrorists fight to enslave all people in Islamic fascism. There is absolutely no moral equivalence.
