Question

. . . or not?

Good work, Perry.

My apologies, helly. Would you like for me to delete the question and rephrase it according to your preferred format?

Is your format listed in Y/A TOS?

Answer 1

Should who be executed? That article hardly makes your question make much more sense. This is a lazy question. Make your argument and ask the question. Don't rely on everyone to work it out from an obscure and long article.

*edit* - no need for sarcasm. My point was valid. You give a link to an article, and ask should 'these' people be executed, giving no clarification as to who, or why. As a result, you have only 2 people who care enough to answer properly. You would have had more result, had you asked your question in a more logical and clear format.

Answer 2

Or not!

I have not read such a profound piece in a long time, and written by those who face the reality of the situation.

Many Americans completely agree with their assessment, I being one!

They see the issue and they know how the issue needs to be settled, while others eyes turned toward oil, completely ignore the political, Geo-political and military realities!

It is a shame that we wasted so many lives on 1 man, and in the eyes of many Iraqi's they prefer Saddam, who we (the CIA) put into power so they could fight the Iranians for us!

Why is it when people disagree with people like you (at least on the face), and are obviously more knowledgeable, and have sacrificed more than most like you ever will, your answer to the 1st Amendment is to "Execute them"! What a sad commentary on those who don't have the answers from those who do!

Perhaps their observation and experience is the reason in the last Army Times poll of active military, over 50% said that we should have never attacked Iraq and the same number agree that Bush has been totally inept since 2001!

Probably because they can't remember all the lies they told, and continue to tell!

They are good soldiers doing their duty which sometimes means not following orders. This may be the only real honest report we get out of Iraq this year (or ever) and these men are risking their careers publishing it. Our "leaders" do not want a stable Iraq which is the real problem, in fact they want the whole region destableized to give an excuse for permanent occupation of the oil fields.
