2. It's only upsetting
if you mistakenly think of those dead soldiers as human beings. If you think that they used to breath, think, eat, love, walk, talk, and all those things that make humans .... well, human, then you feel bad they were killed. You'll feel compassion for their families and neighbors and especially the children they leave behind. But in doing so, you are giving aid and comfort to the enemies.

Instead, think of this entirely as the terriblists testing General Bush's resolve. Because that's all it really amounts to. The fact that he has to deal with commie reporters asking him about these dead soldiers, who really don't count as human beings because they are dead, should make us feel compassion for him. Because this is really all about George.

What does George think? How does George feel? Does George have any funny jokes that will make the dead soldiers' families forget their pain? Can George inspire us all to a point where we will see more dead soldiers as a good thing? A sign of George's strength?

We as Americans can do a better job of supporting George. After all, there is no distinction between God's will and George's will.
