#1 Proving what I said a few days ago...that American's now understand that our enemy is a barbarian, and we will treat them accordingly. While we once would have respected mosques, ambulances and human shields, we now understand that our enemy does not, and we are forced to act accordingly.

Apparently our enemy still don't understand us, but we are starting to understand them.

#3 Watching the news coverage (Fox, et. al.) this morning, the focus was Coalition Forces attacked a mosque, see the oily black smoke. These same people weren't troubled by islamic thugs turning the Church of the Nativity into a latrine.

We've become altogether too "sensitive" for our own good. We let the enemy take free shots at our sons and daughters rather take the chance of offending the enemy by shooting back. Wars aren't won by touchy-feely metrosexuals who agonize about how the other side just doesn't understand us, they're won by soldiers and marines who resolutely, and with perfect moral clarity, kill the bad guys. It's time for our boys and girls to get on with killing the bad guys and let the aging flower-children in the media stand in a corner and talk to themselves.

#4 The US military should start embedding reporters with the troops again and make sure the facts get out on whats going on. Get some photo evidence of what the bad guys are doing and spread it around the world. Combat the propoganda and overly sensitive mindset with a stark does of reality.

#5 RWV, I'm not sure metrosexual is the right word. A metrosexual is a metrosexual man so concerned with his looks that he primps, bathes, gets his nails done, wears fine clothes and puts product in his hair (like a girl). I could be wrong, but from my experience most peaceniks do not bath enough to be considered metrosexuals.

#6 Ruprecht - I think there is a certain contingent of metrosexuals(*) who along with all the primping and such, adopt what they believe to be the fashionable viewpoint. In this case, they would believe the fashionable viewpoint would be some sort of anti-war, anti-Haliburton(**) stance.

Of course Lola Granola's male counterpart is highly unlikely to be a metrosexual.

(*) My own definition of metrosexual is "Urban Narcissist".

(**) Next time you hear someone reflexively spewing about Haliburton, ask them if they mean the people who make the aluminum briefcases. It is really funny sometimes to hear what they think Haliburton does.
