First let me say that Blackwater is doing some good things and some bad things. I have no doubt that the initiator of this thread found the most inflammatory and one sided information available and presented it as gospel. I also have no doubt that there is more to the story than we have here. There needs to be accountability, which has been lacking with these contractors.

It was started by people who happened to be Republican, who invented lies to hoodwink their constituency into supporting the war and who did so in contravention of the United Nations and in complete ignornace of the probable consequences (which were not only forseeable but spelled out to them by their European allies) AND it was started without proper intelligence, preparation or planning.
And you talk about pride of country?

Apparently, you think this started when GWBush was president. Let me give you a little 411, this started thousands of years ago. Not a lot of veracity in your post, none really.

They are not afraid to go there, they are "No Go Zones", everyone knows if you leave them alone, Muslims will never start trouble. The LE types are just trying to give those who submit a little space.
