58. Is this a logical argument?
"That must explain why there are 2,500+ American soldiers dead, and over 50,000 Iraquis." I think my post went over your head. And what's an "Iraquis"?

There have been three major atrocities covered in the press since the war began, Abu Gharaib, Haditha, and this recent rape/killing, all are of course, deplorable. I'm sure many more have been committed without the media or military justice system finding out. The difference is that a small percentage of American servicemen are committing atrocities. 100% of the insurgency is. Bombing markets, police stations, killing Sunnis, killing Shiites, killing tennis players for wearing shorts, bombing liquor stores etc. All in a days work for the Iraqi freedom fighter.

I refuse to believe that our military (with a small percentage of exceptions) is even COMPARABLE to the Iraqi insurgency. It's a fantasy that they are, not reality.
