Reply #5: What many do lose track of

[hippywife]

is that there are Republican moderates that are also bereft of what this administration is doing to their party. They aren't all wingnuts.


Since we have proven to the Iraqi and Afgani people time and again that we will drop bombs and kill indiscriminantly, that we will continue to deprive them of their life and liberties, how many have chosen to pick up arms against the occupiers? Why not? It doesn't seem to matter who is friend or foe. Why not go down fighting? It's really hard to convince a people that continue to lose so much that we are there to liberate them.

All the talk of what would we do if it was our country being invaded and that the common man has taken up arms against the occupier reminds me of something I saw years and years ago. It was a cartoon of a mouse in an inescapeable corner with a bird of prey coming right at him with talons outstretched to snatch him up. The mouse was standing defiantly flipping the bird at him. It was entitled "The Last Great Act of Defiance."

How many are now exercising their own last great act of defiance against their occupiers? It seems we motivate them to do so.
