That is the part that really frustrates me about the reaction around the world. They obviously don't know us at all. We are a compassionate country. Look at how the soldiers have been treating the people in Iraq during wartime, even the soldiers get treated with nothing but human compassion. Not many countries could claim this. Our compassion is what sent us to Iraq, compassion for the people of Iraq and compassion for our own people. We feel deep pain for each and every one who dies.

Exactly. The world thinks we cackle everytime a child gets shot. Newsflash: The regime shoots most of those kids, and we grieve with their parents everytime we see a child hurt. We don't like senseless violence against kids. Saddam and his spawn GET OFF ON IT. We are doing this specifically so those kids have a future that doesnt include torture and rape. We love those kids. We love humanity. And we HATE those are are inhuman, who are demons, who are monsters. We hate the rapists, the torturers, the sadistic predators (And not just Scott Ritter either!). The average american hates depravity, but unfortunately, the average arab regime thrives from it. That is the war between cultures. That is where the line is drawing. The Judeo-christian ethic of the west which has brought about civilization and culture and women's rights and human rights and an end to slavery versus the Islamic culture of the middle east which... hasn't. Its a war between nations and a war between cultures. Thank God we have MOABS! :)
