Reply #8: Why are they "Insurgents" ???

[porkrind]

Why are we killing these people? Just because they fight back? We label them "insurgents" (rebels) and that means it's OK to kill them? Hell NO! Not in my book. What we are doing in Fallujah is wrong. Reports are coming out saying that we are shelling buildings in a densely inhabited city, killing many innocents. The * administration condones this "collateral damage" as necessary. I think it's a massacre and a war crime. It's one thing to send AC-130 "Spooky" gunships against an army, and quite another to send them against an inhabited city. It's not right to kill innocents in order to get the "bad guys."

The rest of the world is watching, and they will hate us for these crimes. We are showing the world that we are thugs. This is real terrorism, not to mention a situation with no good outcome or objective.
