You make a good point! However, some of those who surrendered, picked up their arms again after we passed and continued to fight.

We have the most formidable military in the world, but when I hear of the incidents (Lost troops, Surrender Ambush, etc..)I'm perplexed. I don't think America will ever be the recipient of goodwill from the Islamic world. No matter how many lives we sacrifice!

I understand your frustration. But I think we have to be careful about our reaction to our troops being killed in action. Much of the Arab community is convinced that they can change the tides of war because of what they see as American weakness when it comes to our soldiers being killed in action. Much of their response and propaganda comes from that perception. We as American citizens have to remain focused on the goal and get behind our troops and commanders and demonstrate that the tirant and his thugs cannot break us no matter how low they stoop. We are, afterall, proud Americans. :-)
