It pisses me off that my home country is supporting a group of people who are determined to destroy it. Personally I'd rather see the kid and the other prisoners at Gitmo and elsewhere be treated like POW's, with full Red Cross access etc so that there is absolutely no doubt what is happening to them. That would remove a major support for the islamic radicals. The thing is that to a great extent we've lost the moral high ground in this war, and that makes it 100 times as difficult to succeed in this conflict. I'm not talking about the jihadis they're lost to us anyhow. Rather I'm referring to the civilians that are stuck in the middle. If they think that one side is as bad as the other, they're go with the ones they see that will be around for the long term. Moreover its these civilians that offer the support and cover for the jihadis. In any guerilla war, as Mao said the resistance figher are like fish and the civilians are the sea that the fish swim in. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:255342 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
