"So much blood covered al-Zarqawi's body that U.S. forces cleaned him up before taking photographs. "Despite the fact that this person actually had no regard for human life, we were not going to treat him in the same manner," Caldwell said. The airstrike killed two other men and three women who were in the house, but only al-Zarqawi and his spiritual adviser have been positively identified, he said." Note: I have no problem with this, but the irony is funny. We destroy a house with 2 500 pound bombs, killing 2 targets along with 5 or more non-targets including a child last I heard, then pat ourselves on the back for humanitarian treatment and respect for life because we washed some blood off one of the bodies. |
| As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good? | |

I am so adjective that I verb nouns!

It all relative -- less civilized societies drag the bodies around through the streets and mount the heads on poles outside the city gates. |
| The dogma lives loudly within me. | |

I am the grey one

I would presume anything in that house to be a target although I had not heard of a child being there. Certainly, we demonstrated a lot more respect for life than the guys who hack people's heads off just in stopping them. |

"Any man who would make an X rated movie should be forced to take his daughter to see it". - John Wayne There is a line we cross when we go from "I will believe it when I see it" to "I will see it when I believe it". Henry II: I marvel at you after all these years. Still like a democratic drawbridge: going down for everybody. Eleanor: At my age there's not much traffic anymore. From The Lion in Winter. | |
