[QUOTE="Morat, post: 733388, member: 3008"] No. I hold America to high standards. Is there any reason I should not? Indeed, I even stated that where [i]America[/i] to be invaded, I not only would be all in favor of dirty tricks, I'd be out there pulling them. Goodness. What an amusing way of thinking about things. Why would it be okay? I don't think anyone here say it was okay. I do think we said it wasn't unexpected, it made quite a bit of sense, it was unsurpising.... What does 9/11 have to do with a ground war in Iraq? Seriously, do you think it would physically hurt you to read my posts? Or do you find it more comforting to simply [i]make up[/i] my position? What? Pull dirty tricks to defend my country against an invasion? You bet your bippy I would. I'd be out there in the woods with a rifle, homemade bombs, and as much ingenuity as I could muster. Are you suggesting it would be [i]better[/i] to allow America to be conquered than to restort to guerilla tactics and dirty tricks? Here's a big, giant, fat hint: You're mad because it's unfair. We're scrupulously nice, adhereing to the rules, going out of our war to avoid hurting civilians. Saddam isn't. He's being as mean and nasty as he can, fighting dirty, and is only limited by trying to keep the moral high ground as far as the rest of the world is concerned. It's dreadfully unfair, isn't it? We're laboring under a huge handicap. (Of course, so are they. Air power, to begin with. Technology is another). But you know what? [i]All's fair in love and war[/i]. [/QUOTE]
