But the lying Marxist fags at The Guardian have no problem with this:
To: FairOpinion
Yeah, I kinda get hung up on this concept of 'professionalism'. Crash the bad guys, but don't antagonize the innocent. I'm trying to picture you playing a violin for over two minutes in La Guardia.
But geting back to my original post - I said it was nothing to have a cow about. It sounds like you're having a cow.

It is easy from the comfort of your keyboard to be shocked by how men will act when you put them in barbaric situations. So therefore you condone the actions of the Israeli troops that put a man's head on a stick because they were in a barbaric situation?
When Iraqi insurgents do the same types of things do Americans do you just brush it off as well this is how men act in barbaric situations?

They will never understand until it happens to someone in their family or inner circle.
I watched a program on Sundance (nothing else on, not my favorite network) where a man was doing a documentary on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Of course it was anti-Israeli and he was interviewing all of the Palestinian supporters who were giving such a slanted view. He interviewed a female lawyer from Canada who was in Palestine working as an activist and of course she was giving all of the Palestinian talking points and he was lapping them up.
The next day he went to a check point just moments after a homicide bomber blew himself up (16 year old boy I believe) and saw the carnage and all of the mangled bodies. He changed his opinion in that instant. He went back to the Canadian lawyer and flat out told her that she was supporting the wrong cause because as long as people were blowing themselves up, whatever actions she was working towards were pointless. She just sat there with a stupid smile on her face trying to think of something to say, but all just could do is just look around the room trying not to meet his gaze.
Long story short, I am with you, as long as these idiots keep blowing themselves up, I could care less what these police officers do. Lord only knows the stress they live through.

The people in that picture are animals just like those who strap a bomb to their bodies and step on a bus or those who put a man's head on a stick.

Let me see, a soldier "forced" a man to play a violin? SO WHAT WHO CARES! Is this supposed to be a war crime? I think it is. Ranks right up there with "forcing prisoner to wear panties on head."

All media are slanted left or right and have an agenda and I understand that the Guardian is not going to show me pictures of Americans building a school in Iraq and the WSJ or FNC are not going to show me a picture of Israeli troops putting a man's head on a stick.
However, I do need both viewpoints and am concerned only that such actions taken bu US or Israeli troops incites Muslims and when Muslims are incited more or willing to strap a bomb to their body.

It is not the incident itself it is the impact it has on the American troops. When incidents like this occur the Muslims use it as propaganda to incite the masses and when the masses are incited Americans and Israelis are killed.
I lived in the Middle East. I know how these people think.

"Actually I think it's kinda funny....but of course, I'm sick. No, you're not sick. It is kinda funny.
Then again, I think that a prerequisite for the position of Prime Minister of Israel should be the willingness to eliminate a Billion Enemies.
How very silly of me.

Its not right but we put these men in a situation where they are trained and programmed to KILL for our defense.
As for Iraqi Terrorists they are our enemy and therefore there actions no matter what are unacceptable. Dont give us that liberal morality argument now that we will sink to their level.
To: pete anderson
I lived in the Middle East. I know how these people think. Well then you should know that Muslims are incited no matter what so Dont go and blame our actions for the behavior of Terrorists!
