True, Some Iraqis Feel it is their Own Country, that we are Occupiers, and that they are Fighting for it's Liberation. / (And - Or Enslavement again under saadamedness or a Militant Theocracy). But Not All such Rebels are Native Iraqis.

saadam Brot this War and Conquerment Upon Himself and "his" Iraqi People! By his various Toe Steppings and Other Unacceptabilities. I Beleive that his WMD was Real, -but that has since been Hidden or Destroyed! It's Like him, -to so Put One Over on U.S. and the World!, -Unexpectedly and "In Our Face"! He was Granted Many "Out Oppurtunities", -Toward Avoiding the Onset of War! He Spurned and Nyetted them All! If Truly Innocent of WMDs, -Then Why Did he Continue to Block and Stymie Renewed Inspections?! Why Not Go Ahead and Have!, an "Oh Sure!, -Come On In!", -South African Style Openness?! His All Out *Not* Doing Such!, -Just Does Not Add Up or Comport, -with his Apparent, Suppossed, WMD "Innocence"!

True, they may Often be Employing "Rebel Tactics" against the Present "American Redcoats". But I Think that that Comparison Only Goes So Far.

For if nazis or Soviets were at a Comparative Disadvantage, -and so were Employing "Frontiersman Fightations", -I'd Consider Them to be No Less Worthy of Being at the Receiving End, of our Superior Weaponry / Firepower.

Rich or Poor, -If a Given Someone Wants to Wrongly and Unacceptably Clamp Down on Other Given Someones!, (nazis to Occupied Holland, Norway, Rusha, Poland, or France. / Iraqi Minorities, and Foreign Outsiders!, -Over their Much Larger Populace), -Via even "Frontiersman" Tactics, -Then They are Fair Game for What we Have Up our Arsenal! "Frontiersman" Tactics to Such Wrong Ends, -Remain Entirely Opposeable and Deploreable!

I Know that a Given Side can Tend to Think of it's Own Side or Views, -as Being "Holier Than Thou!", -or Purer and Nobler than it May Be! And to so Demonize or Belilttle the Other's Side or View.

But We were Fighting For a Truly Noble and Upstanding Freedom!, in Both Iraq and in our Own Revolution! Whereas By Contrast, -They in Mosul to Baghdad to Basra are Fighting For a Re-Imposition of saadam and fedayeen type Tyranny! Or an Ayatollah Style Militant Islamic Pandora's Box! And Many of Those Don't Even Put On a Pretense, of Suppossedly Working and Fighting For the Noble and Good!

As to *our* being "Outside Occupiers",-We Will Get Out When the Place is Sufficiently Safe and Secure! The Rebels Can Help and Hasten such Withdrawal!, -by Doing Things like Refraining From Attacking their Own Citizenry, Government, and Infrastructure! And They *Are* Getting Their Own Government Handed Back to Them!, -Very Soon!, -This June 30th! You'd Think the Rebels over there would Welcome That! But No!, -They Fight It!

I Don't Care What Remains *Otherwise* Understandable regarding such Frontiersman Fighting Techniques, -Fallujah Type Body Burnings, and Berg / Johnson type Beheadings, -I Consider to be Out of That! You can Add Bombing Many Red Cross and UN Innocents to that List too! There is an Area of Difference!, Between various Types of "Frontiersman Fighting"! -and I Beleive that your Rebels and Redcoats Analogy only Goes So Far.

I've Read an Earlier Post of your's along Much the Same Lines. To Which I again Turn your Final Line Right Back on such Wrong, Unacceptable Perpetrators, -"This is War!, -I'm Sorry if it's Too Hard for you!"

Using your Same Reasoning and Logic, -Could That Perspective of Their's be Extended to the September 11th Attacks Themselves?! I Think that the Vast Majority of Americans, -and Indeed People Thruout the World, -Would Consider that to be Over the Line, and Unacceptable!

It for One Thing Involves Innocent Civilians, -Not Combatants. Just as the Red Cross, UN Personnel, Translators, Iraqi Police and Law Enforcement, New *Iraqi* Government Ministers!, and even Unarmed Contractors also Are Mostly to Totally Innocent Non-Combatants! And How Bout All of the Innocent, Civilian, Iraqi Human Shields!?, -that this Other Side Routinely Uses?!

"Redcoats and Rebels" here Only Goes So Far! We are at War Too! For our Very Survival! Against Some Very Real, Able, and Determined Enemies! We All Too Have a Decision to Make! (Not that you've Decided Wrong!). This is War From *Our* End and Perspective Too! They of the Other Side Didn't Have to Throw the First "Conquering" Punches! I am Not Sorry that it so may Often be Too Hard for *Them*! [color:"black"] [/color] [email]aardwolfe[/email]
