And back to the original topic, I agree with Laura that all's fair in war. The difference between the American Revolution and the elite Iraqi's & Al Qaeda defending from operation "Iraqi Freedom" is that we weren't cold blooded killers who would gas dissidents or put them in plastic shredders, and we weren't trying to wipe out an entire f*cking race of people who were alledgedly living in "infedelity". We were fighting for our freedom. Currently in Iraq, we are freeing the people from an oppressive regime, while getting rid of the threat to us at the same time.

But yeah, all is fair. Let's nuke the whole middle east. Problem solved.
