Some reports I've read say bloodthirsty American soldiers shooting innocents in Iraq is common place. They won't talk, just shoot. See here. Of course, you don't see this type of report on CNN.
The American public either don't care or helplessly watch ourselves become a nation of terror. The sad fact is: many of us don't even know.
But this is nothing new. Time has diluted the memories of those who read about horrible acts of American soliders slaughtering villages in Vietnam (and MUCH more, some of which are not in your history books)
You give young people AK47 (and all sorts of other weapons) and put them into a zone where their life can end anytime due to roadside bombs and suicide bombers. What do you expect them to do?
If you are surrounded by aggressive foreigners who killed your friends and families and you have no food, no job, nothing, what would you do?
Endless cycles of revenge do not solve anything.
We've got to have plans to withdraw. Withdraw first, deal with everything else later. Besides, that Iraqi president say withdraw anytime, right? Just how many tax dollars and innocent lives are we going to waste?
