sugar and spice
Actually, the question here is rather simplistic. My point is that while there will always be bad guys we must make certain that we are the good guys. Some of our people have let us down badly and we need to correct that. There are generally accepted norms of civilized behavior which are equally valid among Iraqis, Yanks, and everyone, for that matter. The terrorists have routinely and consistently acted in a barbaric manner and brought shame and dishonor to those they claim to represent. Our own idiots have also brought shame and dishonor on us. It is a very inexact comparison since the terrorists do loathsome acts as a matter of business as usual while our idiots are an aberration from the norm. We need to clense this stain while recognizing that the vast majority of our troops really live up to the ideal of being the good guys. We need to continue the fight against global terrorism AND we need to come to the fight with completely clean hands. It really is that simple
