Eddie Haskell said:Did it ever occur to you (and I may presume it did not) that this guy was defending his country from invaders and occupiers. Had this been a white guy in 1941 holding an RPG at Pearl Harbor he would have been a hero. Your kind and your thinking are the reason this country is in the toilet.
Happy Fourth of July, Saint and Dogs. This holiday celebrates this country's independence from tyranny. Little did we know in 1776 that some 229 years later, we would become the tyrants, murderers and thugs. God help us.

Of course it occurred to me this guy is a hero in his country. Thanks for pointing that out, Captain Obvious. Of course, in EVERY war, the view of hero vs tyrant depends on which side of the fence you are on. Don't you understand eddie that my statement has NOTHING to do with the reason we are there. At this point, whether we agree on if/why we are in Iraq, that is done. Now that we are there, though, I prefer to see an Iraqi with an RPG firing at OUR soldiers to be killed first. If you view that otherwise you are a traitor to your own country. Once again, this has nothing to do with the reasons for us being there, but regardless of what you think we are there and that's that. If you would rather that Iraqi kill our soldiers than to hell with you.
And for the record, I have never said whether or not I agree with us being there eddie. But like so many of the people on this board, since I have stated some conservative views, you have pigeon-holed me as a conservative and thus I MUST think and act only one way. You bitch and moan about people opening their eyes, yet you remain one of the most stereotypical and stubborn people on the board.
And to me July 4th is a celebration of our independence and for the people who fought for it, whether or not they thought they should be have been in one or not. Our govt has been filled with some sorty of tyranny since day 1. Where have you been?
