So far we have destroyed 100,000 Iraqi civilians, so it's their duty now
to destroy us to prevent more destruction of their society.

and the cycle goes on.

Of course our justification is that they were a 'potential' threat.

And the cycle goes on.

I wonder what the Native Indians reaction to all this is.

I would have loved to been able to go visit some reservations after Sept

Really got them talking.
