Yes, Americans are a civilized people, that is not in dispute. And the american soldier is doing his job which is obeying orders given to him by his commander in chief. The buck stops with him.
But 20,000 Iraqis now lie dead, with many more thousands maimed, these are the people President Bush came to free. Many are women and children. And the so called "liberal media" are too scared to show these harrowing scenes on network tv for fear of upsetting their corporate sponsors and government officials. But the rest of the world sees it!!!!
I ask you if you saw your child lying lifeless in the street with a bullet in her head what would you do? Their only crime was being a citizen of Iraq.
When you start killing people then it becomes personal. America knows this all too well after 9/11. The mark of a "civilized" society is to rise above those feelings of revulsion and show the world a better way. Otherwise it will be "an eye for an eye till everyone is blind."
