"US Army Snipers...providing surgical strikes since 1776."
My point however was not that we once had to fight for our freedom, my point was that freedom is an inalienable right, and we are all equally entitled to it IMO...even the dirty unwashed savage masses in Iraq.

it still doesn't compare, because there were no occupiers that occupied to pacify the region, and the rebels were those who had been living there for a while, it was a fight for territory rule
while Iraq, the occupiers ARE the ones helping the local populace, and the insurgents are 3rd party, simply seeking to cause casualties and instability no matter what. they don't want territory rule, they want casualties, if they wanted territorial rule, they'de keep quiet like a mouse untill AFTER the Coalition left, and THEN they would over throw the establisehd gouvernement
let's face it , they want US blood, and it's easier there, then if they have to come find it in the US... a lot easier. unfortunately
