"Whether or not"???? It's pretty safe to assume it's a given the US military
will have little reqard for civilian life in Iraq. They certainly didn't in
Vietnam. Nor in Desert Stork One. Or since. And we just saw pretty conclusive
evidence that the US forces in Afghanistan are torturing prisoners, some to
death.
"US-bashers" -- how about truth-tellers? Most people in this world have a
pretty clear idea what the US is all about at this point.
