I know it's unthinkable (and therefore largely unthought) but were the 'Land of the Brave' to be invaded, its citizens rounded up, tortured and murdered in the hundreds of thousands, would the Brave fight back? Would they be 'terrorists' if they did? Would they see the invaders as righteous heros, or as criminals committing crimes against humanity? Why should the Iraqis be any different? A righteous America, a decent America would bring to justice the criminals who planned and are executing this vile murder of a once soverign nation. At least with this holocaust no one can say they didn't know. Well said.
