A US marine has sparked world-wide revulsion after being seen shooting an injured and helpless Iraqi.

I'm part of the world and it does not bother me in the least.

How does the Mirror know the diaper head was truly injured and helpless Iraqi. I'm sure the diaper head was still armed.

This is the worst kind of leftist propaganda tripe. Mr. Political Editor Paul Feather-pussy has no idea whether the terrorist was 'helpless' or whether he was ready to take a shot at the first Marine he could see. Even if he may have looked 'helpless' on the video no one can possibly tell from a reporter's video whether they guy was prepared to shoot at or blow up a Marine approaching. Until his head is blown right off the terrorist is still a terrorist and a threat. Hey, Mr. Feather-pussy of the Daily Mirror, we'll be happy to embed you with the terrorists so you can do some first-hand, up close and person reporting on their predicament........

There's a curfew in places like Falloujah and any one stupid enough to be out of doors deserves what they get. I can't fault the Marine - the terrorist may have been faking injury to draw the soldier into a deadly ambush. This is one situation where its perfectly appropriate to shoot first and ask questions later. The British press, The Mirror included, ought to know "war is hell." It was either the Marine's life or the other guy's. We Americans treasure our lives enough to know when to pull the trigger.
