8. Damned me too.
I was trying to avoid that to. But here are my thoughts:

Remember what happened to Rome? I think we're there. We suck.

2. I don't know about the iraqis.....but there are lot of HAPPY Americans!
flying their flags higher than ever today!

Feeling their oats.

Telling people far and wide that their FREEDOMS have been SAVED by their great leader.

Happy as little larks in spring time.

What a SICK society we live in.

3. They don't look like Uday and Qusay.
At least, they don't look like the pictures I've seen of them. Neither of them had shaved heads, or maybe that's a disguise... I don't know, there's something kinda fishy about this whole story....

Who left all this extra tinfoil lying around? Someone's bound to fashion a hat for themselves if they leave it just ripe for the taking like that.....

5. We should cut off their heads and parade them about the country
At least that is what God wanted Gabriel to do after his victory. It was a prerequisite for his aid. When Gabriel blew his horn God was to send help so as to insure victory but Gabriel was then to cut the heads off the leaders of the ten bands and put them on poles and parade them about to show the might and glory of the Lord.

10. My Girlfriend is Crying
Not over Uday and Qusay, but the fourteen year-old boy. "When did we get this shoot-em up mentality?" she asked through her tears. "Can you imagine the boy in that house with his dead father and uncle? He must have been terrified. Why did he have to die?" Apparently she heard that he was the last to go.

I have no answers. Telling her to hold on until the next election seems like little comfort.

11. We should get to see more of this
Show pictures of dead Iraqi civilians and children and American soldiers too. Then maybe people will understand war is not a game.

12. Its little georgies* old west
mentality when they used to photograph dead outlaws so everyone would know they were dead. Noone believes them, so instead of cutting the heads off and parading them, they want everyone too know what a good deed they did.
Good evidence for war crime trials, well documented.
