beginning with a full psych workup.

4. Yup. This stuff happens in Iraq. One of the reasons I opposed going in

at all. :(

Blame the politicians and buisnessfolks who sent these kids over there and propaganized up their hatred towards some Iraqis, please. The soldiers are over there doing the best that they can (even with crazy crap like this) and are doing what, in their judgement, they are supposed to do.

Yes, the video is shown out of context, but I'm positive that worse things are happening over there than this. That's war and it truely sucks.

5. thus stuff happens in every war

6. I agree....

... war is dehumanizing. It turns good people into killers.

7. I'm sorry, but even in war there are rules

and shooting the wounded like that goes against the Geneva Convention.

I'm starting to get to the point where I really do hate America.

8. Rules that no one obeys after a while...

I'm sorry, but even in war there are rules

Yes, but we don't enforce them by bringing the rule-breakers to trial and punishing them. So for what are the rules?

These kinds of atrocities go on in wars. Anyone remember My Lai?

Why can't we just put Bush in a room with Saddam and let them beat each other to bloody pulps?

9. That's a war crime clear and simple.

and they have the evidence of who did it.
