Forum Lurker makes a good and probably valid point in the cheering Iraqia. Cheer 'em or get your butt shot. I saw those pictures of those Iraqis with their thumbs up. All I could think of was this was tehir way of saying "Don't shoot my butt!"

AQnd as for the statue being pulled down. Hey, ain't no PR comapany in the world that will get it to match our mental images of a limo in Dallas. Try as they will, just don't cut it. And now we learn that these same "happy-to-see-ya" Iraqia are living in totol chaos, stealing from and killing each other. Not exactly a real proud moment in American history to take the world most lethal military and destroy the third or fourth rate army of a country and then watch in despair as its survivors just get real uncivilized.

As for Peg and Claymore: Take it outside.... please. You're both cool folks in your own ways but..... geeeze.
