So, you're saying our troops are there to get blown to pieces so we don't have to? Kind of like human shields, huh?Originally Posted by Devastatin Dave
Soldiers are just civilians in military uniform. Their lives are not any less valuable than civilians'. Those people dying in Iraq now are the same as the ones who died in the WTC and the four airliners, only their undershirts are a different color.
If someone with the resources wants to do another attack like the WTC, they will do it in the US regardless of whether US soldiers are in the Middle East. Since Bush invaded Iraq, it is probably a certainty now.
But the small-time car bombers there, who don't have the resources to attack across the Atlantic, now have plenty of local targets since the invasion. And the conservatives can no longer rightly say the bombers are committing terrorism, since they are attacking an occupying military force.
