Reply #7: Is this a radical Islamist who wants to kill us?

Seems to me, that it sort of depends on your point of view. Doesn't look like we did a very good job 'protecting' this girl. There are about 10,000+ more like her.

I will grant you that by and large, US soldiers are caught in a situation not of their choosing. However, since we started this war, and started it based on LIES, we cannot automatically be considered 'the good guys' this time. We'd have to earn that moniker, and we sure the hell haven't!

Regarding the troops who walked away: Do take into consideration that since the war itself is illegal in several jurisdictions (the UN and the US's own constitution), and that soldiers have the duty to REFUSE illegal orders, one might say that the guys who went AWOL were the only ones actually obeying the law!
