Thanks for setting the record straight -- that Robert Lee joined the Confederate army and that rebels shot at a U.S. Army installation in Charleston, South Carolina because the garrison had been murdering, raping, and lotting in certain States.

And still you bring nothing to the discussion. You can find nothing in the man's character, save the fact that General Lee turned down command of the entire Union Army and thus refused to march on his neighbors and citizens of Virginia, so we get more cheapshots. It may help you to do some research and understand that General Lee, and many other Confederate Generals, rejected President Davis's order of guerilla warfare when Richmond fell. To compare his character with the actions of the Godless heathens in Iraq shows a lack of honesty, research, and understanding of history on your part. But feel free to keep those cute little quips coming; you only expose your own ignorance and baseless bias.

Jefferson Davis did not order guerrilla warfare, to which he was in fact strongly opposed. Said he: ""Guerrillas soon become brigands, and any government is better than that."

Throughout American history, killers of U. S. soldiers have come up with all sorts of reasons to excuse their crimes, but what they all have in common is killing U. S. soldiers.
