This can be good and bad: "...better to get your enemy to die fighting for his country than for you to die fighting for yours..." [Patton]<BR/><BR/>Most or many of the Iraqis dieing in Iraq are because of Arab patriots killing all the collaborators. Occupiers create an effort required to end it: fanatical.<BR/><BR/>But when some Americans shiver or tremble in fear of this captured patriot it shows they know little on what it takes to defend a country because they don't understand it requires a powerful patriotic effort by citizens willing to die to defend their country. <BR/><BR/>And the problem is caused by a government that doesn't respect property rights - the US government; if it did it would vacate the Middle East.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20077444.post-1146919335596114002006-05-06T07:42:00.000-05:002006-05-06T07:42:00.000-05:00I disagree with the "mental" claim.

His words at sentencing about U.S. foreign policy were not the rantings of a lunatic, but the truths of a fanatic.Sheldon Richmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15672237234580563637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20077444.post-1146849670445158622006-05-05T12:21:00.000-05:002006-05-05T12:21:00.000-05:00I completely agree with you.

If you want the government to kill, that is final; there is no turning back. If later it made a mistake, too bad! Besides, Moussaoui is dumb, as well as mental. He played no major role in 9/11 (he was in jail when it occured).Thomas Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07367944713775628182noreply@blogger.com
