Breaking News: Saddam's two sons are killed by US Special Forces.

[Sava]

As long as they come to the US, and spend it here to stimulate the economy.

I'd much rather see them spend the money on schools and hospitals for Iraqi children.

Sheesh, you and your morals.

No one happens to know the quickest way to Iraq, do they?

Nearest Army induction center?

HA! Let's see if we can spend some money on our own first.

[TCO]

This is just as well. This way we don't have to deal with the whining from softer Europe for hanging the two.

[MichaeltheGreat]

They're already whining. Even some of our own Lima Deltas.

[Saras]

Lima Deltas? LD?

[Dinner]

Yes, but there will always be a certain amount of background whining no matter how the chips fall. Over all the level of whining has been fairly subdued. Don't you think?

Hadn't seen that. Thought it was playing pretty much in unison. It is natural for political opponenets to have a little part of their mind wishing for bad news for a foe--would be same in reverse--but I think most are happy that we got them, overall.) Even NPR was playing it neutral. And ABC, CBS were exultant. "2 down, 1 to go!" was their story lead.

Liberal Democrats.

Lima is Army talk for "L" and Delta is Army talk for "D".

[Saras]

I KNOW lima delta zulu whiskey etc.

On LD's - the Liberal Dems in UK HQ are in the former house of Barbara Cartland, and on a guided boat tour on river Thames the boaties cracked jokes how this was usually known as the "fairytale house".

You really are cruel people. You love to torture, kill and destroy the lives of every "enemy of america" your adminstration tells you. I'm enemy of this kind of barbarism, so I guess I'm Enemy of America? I'm beginning to think the old cold war status quo was better than you barbaric cowboys running wild...

ACHTUNG! political disclaimer:
SH and his sons were cold blooded murderers and rapists. They deserve to be convicted for their crimes. Still they are humanbeings. But I hate it when Bush says theyre fighting against terrorism and for democracy and then commits terrorist acts around the world and goes murdering people...

I don't support ANY politician 100%. BUT I think the US is more right than wrong in taking Saddam out. And you "crybaby" troll how the US is hated for killing Saddies sons was VERY bad form.

What does suck most, though is people assuming everyone in Europe thinks the same.

Yeah, Perkunas. Are you a born-again pagan?

Saras is up ther on my 'favorite Euro' list with TheStinger, The Viceroy, and several others, so i take his opinon seriously

Pekka -

You know what that nietzsche guy said that when you're taking out monsters, you need to watch out you won't become one. I take it seriously, I think all fighting should be done without passion in order it to be effective...
Distance yourself a bit, be analytical about it, respect the enemy for its abilities and strike hard. Outcome is not celebrating for my personally, it's just a job done. But I am pleased. It goes both ways.. not enjoying yourself too much, and not get down when you're getting crushed. Yeah what am I talking about, I even wasn't there..just posting to internet about it.. I'm such a TOOL

I like that way of thinking i shall Post-postingly edit all my posts that express emotion. i wish to remain stoic.

As I said before, the question is not whether we deliberately killed the two, but is why they chose to die in battle rather than surrender? Very much like Hitler, I suspect. They knew what fate was in store for them had they been captured.
