For me? Last night was getting there, but I still haven't seen the full might of the American and British military.

We will not see the full might of the U or Uk military: the ful might would kill lots of people and created a diplomatic backlash agains the US and UK.
The attacks are impressive, but since they are os targeted, the extent of the destruction is limited (which is the plan. we have to rebuild anything we break). Again, this aint Grozny and we aint the Ruskies.If you don't like reality, change it! me

Why I hate the war:
It means that in every place on the web I end up reading posts by clearly insane, mouth-foaming Americans gloating in their wholescale genocide of the iraqui populace, which means I have to be angry all the time. It's really annoying.

Well written.
My question is: how many Iraqi civilians have been killed in the war by the US/UK attack so far?(\__/) 07/07/1937 - Never forget

Drosedars : from what I've seen in the News thread, there has also been a dead driving a bus between Iraq and Palestine. And Agathon talked about the destroyed civilian vehicles shown on BBC."I have been reading up on the universe and have come to the conclusion that the universe is a good thing." -- Dissident

Funny, everywhere I go on the web I find clearly insane, mouth-foaming anti-war people writing articles like ‘Calling a Spade a Spade: American Fascism’, which means I have to be in a constant state of mild amusement. I just want it to stop.
which is also still applicable."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Can I say a few things to people who are perhaps too young to remember GW1.
1) Don't believe what officials tell you. Their mission is to give the most favourable impression of events that they can - they will do this with no respect for the truth (it's their job). This means not mentioning civilian casualties and overstating successes. Last time they told us the Patriots were working (they weren't). Then they told us that they'd destroyed SCUDS (they were tanker trucks). Then they told us that collateral damage had been minimalised by "smart" weapons (yeah right?). We didn't see pictures of the masscre on the road out of Kuwait until much later.
2) Don't believe what the news tells you - the fog of war is just that. And the embedded newspeople are effectively controlled by the military.
3) If they aren't talking about something - it's probably not going as well as they hoped.Only feebs vote.
