You apparently don't have any idea what freedom is.

Ok, I will. Of course, you haven't waited to level your judgement.

Iraq isn't the first conflict this world has seen.

 BF>

 BF> It surly isn't ours.

Maybe you should do a little soul-searching.
 
 BF>  EH> And when does Europe do what is right for the rest of the world?
 BF> 
 BF> We have peace-keeping units in Bosnia.

So do we. Our troops went into Bosnia well before your troops thought it safe
enough to set foot there.

 BF> 
 BF> And what about the innocent in Iraq?

They are being killed by non-Iraqi insurgents who are fighting against
democracy.

And your point is?
 
 BF>  EH> Another Marine was killed just outside that same building at that
very

 BF>  EH> terrorist was playing dead and exploded a grenade killing himself and
the
 BF>  EH> Marine. Still another Marine had been killed the day before doing the
same
 BF>  EH> thing. Of the three Marines, I'd say the one who shot the wounded
 BF>  EH> terrorist did the proper thing.
 BF> 
 BF> The you are playing their game and that's just what they want.

No, our troops are not playing anyone's game. It took 8 months before our
troops
went into Fahlujah. Zarqawi was in Fahlujah all that time killing innocent
Iraqis
and non-Iraqis. If our troops would have went in earlier, you would still be
whining about how bad our troops are yet giving Zarqawi and his henchmen a
pass.

You are a hipocrit of the highest order.
 
 BF>  EH> Yeah, it's safe for you to sit there in your house and call a Marine
doing
 BF>  EH> his job and looking after the safety of his fellow Marines,
trigger-happy.
 BF> 
 BF> His job isn't to kill unarmed soldiers.

The terrorist the Marine shot was NOT a soldier. 
 
 BF>  EH> Who said this was after combat? They were still fighting! They were
 BF>  EH> clearing the building of threats. It's called urban warfare!
 BF> 
 BF> And a clear building means that everyone inside are dead?

You said that, not me. If all you can do is be intellectually dishonest, you
can
leave.
