"As for the hundreds of thousands killed in Iraq I wish for once I could read someone in this forum have a little RESPECT for life. We are, in a sense, SUPPOSEDLY Christians RIGHT???"
Yes we are Christian. Being a Christian is not synomous with being an easy target. All that has to happen for the killing to stop is for them to stop the bombs, stop beheading people, stop the sabotage.
Our guys were attacked and responded. Perhaps they lost all reason and did go on a rampage. I sincerely doubt it and don't particulary care if they did. Its not like they stopped for the heck of it and started going thru houses at random. They were patrolling in a known hotbed and were attacked. The words of the terrorists are given more credence than the men and women who volunteered to go over there and risk their lives to protect ours. The next thing we'll hear is that its our fault we were bombed because we were patrolling there.
Its far far more likely that our enemies saw this as an opportunity to damage us politically and the leaders in place lack the fortitude to stand up to the pressure.
