I do not give a CRAP about whether people are angry at us or not.

I was DAMNED angry on 9/11, and after I watched the movie several months back titled "9/11" by the French brothers, I was even ANGRIER.

Then, when I saw the move "Flight 93", I was the only one in the theater who said anything, and it was "Those Sons of a Bitches".

So, yeah. I am angry. I had an acquaintance who died on one of those planes, and there were about 3000 other people I didn't know.

What we are trying to do in Iraq is magnificent. We are shedding blood and spending money to try to break the cycle over in that part of the world. Sure, it is in our best interests. We all stand to gain a lot if it works. We could just grab the oil while we are there, but we aren't.

We had 3000 of our citizens killed in just a couple of hours.
We would have been justified in carpet bombing and taking the damned countries over there by force, but we didn't.

It's not what we do. In WWII we could have taken and held as our own nearly any territory we occupied, but we didn't. We gave it back to the people who attacked us, and whose butts we kicked. It is the American way.

Now, we are giving those people a chance at choosing their own government, even if it (as seems likely) is a hostile one towards us. So be it. If we end up in a full scale conflagration in the Middle East, it cannot be said we did not try the humane approach to stamp out this festering, stinking thing called Islamofacism.

The rest of the damned world can kiss our collective ass if they don't like it.
