>>>it is exactly that kind of thinking which makes it possible for dictators and other tyrants,

This is such a terrible analogy and/or comparison that it isn't even worth addressing.

>>>And there is nothing either "modern day" or "PC" about my opinion

Oh please. This "What you are doing is wrong but I support you in doing it" is the highest form of PC hypocrisy currently being practiced in this nation. It makes me sick.

I don't give a hoot what your personal or political leanings might be. Iraq is a done deal. Any comment (like the one that started this thread) that undermines the efforts of those great kids, minimizes the cause for which some made the ultimate sacrifice, and boosts the morale of the Iraqi insurgents is thoughtless and inexcusible.

Anyone that would deem such a comment to be "patriotic duty" is either a moron or from France and you can quote *me* on that.
