There's really nothing honourable about dead American soldiers in an unjust war...

You have every right to debate the war; the reasons, the causes, the effects, the culprits, etc.
But I think you could do it openly, without having to connect that argument which is valid, to one obviously meant to be offensive. (At least to us "good patriots")
I think we can probably agree that the problem is the people and conditions that lead to war, not necessarily those that have to fight it.

Peace.

I hope you realize, that I NEVER wanted to belittle the hazardous circumstances that the now gone American soldiers were put into. By a ridiculous administration who is now in retirement grilling steaks and laughing their macho asses off while their stupid wives walk around unfulfilled but with round mouths...

But don't mistake the whole world outside America, please. We have a slightly two-sided view on matters. Your American soldiers were brought to war to kill others, and I'm sure many of them did - effectively - even to the good of the socalled but rather devastated brand of socalled "Western Democrazy".

Had this been a truly "good and honest" war, then I'd never have stepped on anybody's Republican toes. How ever, this has all from the start been a nasty thing.

I don't think a single one of your soldiers should ever have died under these sad and corrupt circumstances, but fact is that they did. I don't think any one should have carried the terror of Geo Bush's insanity. The fact is, how ever, that so many did.

But, please, don't be naive sentimentalists... if you show up with M16s, then people shoot back - and they hit sometimes... hopefully you can find some comfort in the fact that you killed so much more...

War is evil and should be entered into cautiously. Unfortunately Geo Bush had his own ugly plan...

So as I suggested b4: Peace!
