\t\t\t\tI’ve been known to say that the opponents of the liberation of Iraq were “objectively pro-Saddam” on account of the fact that their policy choices would have left the Big Turd in power.

That said, I feel nothing over the death of merceneries. They aren’t in Iraq because of orders, or because they are there trying to help the people make Iraq a better place. They are there to wage war for profit. Screw them. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

OK, it’s one thing to vigorously argue a position based on your twisted concepts of sovereignty and international law, but cheering the murder of innocent civilians making life better for ordinary Iraqis at great personal peril crosses the line. <\/p>\n

Anyone who takes the anti-liberation crowd seriously now is a fool.<\/p>\n
