Always a good idea to hear both sides of every story. I learned this the hard way working in management most of my professional life. Often times, hearing only once side can get your blood to boil, until you hear the other side of the story. People must learn to listen to both sides of the story before jumping to any conclusion. That's what I would advise. As for the 19 year girl being saved, it's my personal humble opinion that the Iraqi lawyer that walked 24 miles to report her whereabouts to the marines is the hero of this story. Without him, the girl would probably be dead by now. c.i.
BTW, he did so at great risk to himself, and possible great sacrifice to his own young family. He's my hero. c.i.

Wilso - I think this is way over the top. I know you are upset - but this comment is actually quite ridiculous - and is most unfair and insulting to American people.
Had you made such a comment about, say Iraqis, or suchlike, you would most reasonably have been hauled over the coals for racism.
Maybe I should have said Republican invention.
frankly, I think that would still be ridiculous - but less comprehensively insulting.
How about a conservative term ie. the Australian Liberal Party (what a joke of a name) who have enjoyed increased popularity since this conflict started due to the huge number of moronic mindless lemmings that make up the oppressed peasentry of this island.
Well, that's as far as I'm going!!!
I think we should all take some time out and smell the roses.

LOL! You are a stubborn man, Wilso!
Roses are good, Goa.
You made him stubborn did you, Gezzy?

LOL! If I did, I wasn't trying
I love his stubborn side, along with all his other sides :-D
At least I know one person in the world is always on my side :wink:
Oh goddess! that was too sweet!
