To suggest that Iraqis feel as if the ends justify the means is unknowable by the two of you who happily sit outside the sovereign nation once called Iraq. What we can know for certain, is that the dismembered, dead, and maimed of Iraq are unable to hand a carnation to a passing soldier who recently shot one of their family members in the head, or bound and gagged an Iraqi citizen while carrying them about at the end of a forklift, or forced them to disrobe and simulate sex acts! The reason I know they wont be waiving any flags or handing out carnations, their dead or have been liberated of the ability to hand anything as their hands are blown off. You two should get off of your computers and get a one way ticket to Iraq. Then, go to the center of downtown Iraq, and tell the Iraqi citizens, the ones who survived shock and awe and the civilized liberation of their ministries, their museums, their limbs, their money, their dignity, those glowing with radiation, that they should be happy that the USUK emperium has just stolen their lives, their past, their future, and their dignity, and lets just have a little look-see at what happens to the two of you. I will happily collect monies for your bus tickets. Yours in idiocy...
