"I complimented the drawing, apologized for my country."

Some see only what they wish to see. You are one of these. Americans have nothing to apologize for.

If we attack Iraq, we lose any moral high ground that we once had, and I am terrified of the consequences.

We still stand firm atop our moral high ground. That high ground is still standing on the ghosts of the WTC. The war was brought to us, now we taking it to them.

[DainBramage]

Your not a human shield until the battle starts you chicken...buck buck buck.

[Remole]

Look, if you wanted to be a "human shield, then what sort of person are you that you left just when the war was imminent? What kind of "human shield" are you? Oh, I know the answer to that one: A FRENCH ONE.

[dighton]

Saddam Hussein is a terrible and unjust ruler . . .

. . . to whom you gave aid and comfort.

The passport control officer whould have kept his passport, shredded it, and pushed the big red button that puts the anti-American back on a return flight.

[TxBec]

I feel for the Iraqi people (the average civilian).. I really do. You said seeing that picture, you cried for the first time in many years. Didn't you cry when you saw pictures of those poor people jumping from WTC?

[jwalsh07]

Ryan, you don't have the courage of your convictions.

"I Was A Human Shield In Iraq"

Let me guess, you're also a Gore voter.

I thought so.

[RoughDobermann]

when and if I got back home.

'Twould appear that you made it back home just fine. Now, be prepared to face the consequences of your actions...

[Xenalyte]

Boy, this guy sure is "terrified." I think I saw that word, and variations thereon, six times in the article.

[rabidralph]

I was a teenage werewolf.

It is much more difficult for people to bomb abstract enemies than it is to bomb 13 year-old Marwa, who wants to be our friend.

Actually, it's a lot EASIER to bomb someone faceless and abstract.

What an idjit.

If you were a real "human shield" you would still be there. You've shown yourself to be a coward who doesn't have the courage of your convictions.

By the way, the sanctions are U.N. sanctions, not "our" sanctions. You are not only misguided, you're naive as well.

[Dialup Llama]

>When I was in Iraq, I visited several schools.

Ryan wisely got the hell out, before he could actually become a real human shield. Just in time for St. Patty's day. What about those other dopes who are still in there who you encouraged to go as human shields?

[Cultural Jihad]

A fair-weather human shield, eh? Did you try to protect the toddler's prisons from being bombed, the place where innocent children go to be tortured? Good for you, O most compassionate liberal!

[mtbrandon49]

You left to soon moron!

[wimpycat]

You must have missed the part where Sen. Graham said that if armed conflict started, and if American citizens attempt to impede the U.S. military by occupying certain targets, then you are giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

It's a matter of U.S. Federal law, you twit, not a matter of if you "feel" like a traitor.

[CaptainK]

Why are you back? There are munition factories in Bagdad that need protecting.

[RippleFire]

If you are a human shield, what are you doing back here?
