The figures on the Baghdad street were, plain and simple, untermenschen, negligible existences to be erased as casually, and with as much satisfaction, as you or I might squash a buzzing fly. Box says, "Hey, this is war." In that case, I respond that we ought to shrug and respond "it's just war" when the charbroiled corpses of US troops—or contract killers—are displayed hanging from bridges. A number of the US deaths in Iraq have been consequence of helicopters shot out of the air. If this crew had been among them, who among you is so wed to tribal loyalties that you would not agree that a rough justice was served?

Just like the canadians tying civillians with barbed wire on the front of their tanks in the northern salient after dday. No different than using flamethrowers to bbq a few scared Nipponese crouching like fearful hobbits in a hole in an area so foreign that most americans wouldnt recognize it on a cruise ship going past. Sorry that you have had such a delightful life that you have never had to contemplate such actions except when cheering on your favorite cinematic heroes from the comfort of your living room chair.

You are being a bit pretentious about assuming Rand's life. War, I know its war. Edited by folkert April 6, 2010, 09:02:17 PM EDT Expand All History
