The US army puts up road blocks and urges people to stop in ENGLISH. Iraq happens to be an Arabic country, so how hard is it to write those stop signs in a language everybody in Iraq understands.
Frolic - if you've read me, you know I don't like bush or this war. But it seems to me you're just a little rabid to believe the worst about US soldiers; as if you attribute the worst possible character and motives to those guys serving US politicians. I'd humbly suggest you consider two things:
- that bush is very likely, at least in the short run, going to enjoy increased popularity and praise (and we'd all better adjust fire to recognize that)
-that US soldiers who die in this war also have families who are devastated.
