Tell that to our dead.

I'm sorry, but that's a little bit overdoing it - did the people in the World Trade Center forget to type in IDDQD before going to work that morning? Or how about the guy from Idaho (I don't have an online link yet) who died, as the first official casualty of this military action? No, I'm not saying back down over some blood, I'm saying don't laugh at the people over their doing their duty. "He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster.

Hardly what I would call a wartime casualty; it could as easily have happened back in Idaho. Regards, -scott anderson

Still, we will take casualties in this war, and I think my point stands. "He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster.
