"No, Abdullah, it is because of the merciful actions of the soldiers of a Christian nation."

Not that I would deign to attempt to improve upon what I consider the most "perfect" reply of the week.........but I'll just expand on it a bit....

"No, Abdullah, it is because of the otherwise unheard of, merciful actions of the best-trained, most disciplined Special Forces soldiers of a Christian nation whose faith and moral underpinnings teach them that when they can spare a life and still accomplish the mission, they will consider doing so.......and you're the direct beneficiary of Jesus' teachings."

I like your additions!

By the way, isn't it interesting that the New York Times cannot understand this?

Reading this article made me proud of our guys! I am sure the clymers there at the Old Gray Lady thought that we would feel sorry for the truck drivers and think poorly of our men.

Look at what our soldiers have done...identified a risk, located it without detection, removed the drivers so they wouldn't be injured, destroyed the trucks, and disappeared into the night. About the only thing they didn't do was leave a note saying "Greetings from the United States of America. You are with us, or you are with the terrorists!"

I am so proud I could cry. And the clueless Times, with its tin ear for the heartbeat of America, writes an article that allows these shifty drivers to portray themselves as the victims.

The paper should be ashamed!!

Post 33 - Well put. It immediately struck me on reading the article that those US soldiers were being awfully merciful, risking their own lives to protect the six or seven Afghani truckers. It highlights the vast difference between the US and fundie muslim nations.
