ORIGINAL: kittinSol You're fairly certain about something? Do you see how that isn't necessarily consistent with fact? Fact is, the double-standard you are referring to is a product of your imagination and of the propaganda you hear from the strictly American media you trust as your unique source of information. Have you looked into alternative news sources? How frequently, for example, have you seen televised images of the one hundred thousand Iraqi civilians that have been killed since the US invasion of their country? War is atrocious; it's even worse when it's completely unecessary. But guess what? The soldiers that are dying in Iraq chose to go there. Their fate may be tragic, but not as tragic, in my eyes, as the deaths of the innocent civilians who die in their dozens of thousands. Perhaps it's time to broaden your informative horizon? Just a suggestion... (Do you know who invented algebra and the numbers you use every day?) Well, as with anything in the world, there are always three sides to an arguement: their side, your side, and the truth. No one really knows the complete truth or fact in the world. There are always spins that alter one's opinions. I will agree that war is tragic. I do feel for the innocent civilians that die by the hundreds in a single marketplace while shopping for food by lunatic suicide bombers. I can't begin to imagine that kind of horror on our soil. Our soldiers made the commitment and sacrifice to serve and defend our country. They didn't invade Iraq, they simply followed orders. Since you are so well read and informed, please feel free to enlighten us with your diverse news sources. I'm always up for learning something new.
