Who Are the Bad Guys?
The insurgents fighting the brutal occupiers of their country and working to eliminate all who would throw in with them?

-OR-

The leaders of the forces who, without provocation, illegally invaded and occupied the country, murdering by the commander in chief of those forces own admission, "30,000 more or less" civilians. Forces that destroyed security, collapsed the economy, forces that destroyed the infrastructure, underserving the population for electricity and water. Water in a desert! Forces who have broken international law, ignored Geneva conventions, and committed crimes against humanity in the names of the ignorant and apathetic population of the evil superpower empire.

Who are the bad guys?

Think about it.

1. The very word "insurgents" is a non-starter.
It has always been the wrong word, and obfuscatory to boot.

2. What we call insurgents in Iraq
Edited on Sun Jan-14-07 08:47 PM by proud2Blib
were called 'patriots' in 1776.

George Washington was an insurgent.

George Bush is a coward.
