Richard, here is what I have to say after sleeping on it.
We admit our mistakes, punish the soldiers, and apologize.
Them we kill the people who murdered Berg slowly and painfully. Then we kill everyone who was happy about it even slower and more painfully. It all sort of gives me a "don't mess with texas" attitude.
I'd love to say I feel peaceloving and introspective about what I saw on the video, but, really it just pisses me off in a huge way and makes me wish we'd just pull out the big guns and salt the earth when we leave.
adding, off the subject:
there are those who say American's should leave. Well, I suppose I really have no problem with that. What say we just leave? What say we leave and just come home? Save the lives of plenty of our men
We close down our bases worldwide. We shut down ALL foreign trade and job outsourcing- who needs a global economy. We shut down ALL military assistance to foreign countries. We shut down ALL our borders and stop students from coming here to study, families from visiting Disney, sick people from coming here for life saving surgeries. We stop ALL our monies and keep them right here. People in Korea want assistance? Screw you. People in Africa wants AIDS medicines? Screw You, get your own scientists to do a half century of expensive research. We'll open up the Alaskan wilderness and find our own oil if we have to. People anywhere want anything? Forgettabout it! It's such a double edged sword. People around the globe just can't decide if they love America or hate us. Probably both. But if we don't send troops, we get railed for not caring (Haiti) if we do, we're tyrants.
No matter what, we are human and will make mistakes when we're out doing things.
What's the best way to avoid mistakes? Just stop trying.
