I'm through arguing. It's obvious that while wade will state over and over again that he's not justifying these animals, he will continue to do so.

Oh, and America has been invaded and occupied. We started out occupied in 1776 and we didn't kidnap the wives and children of redcoats and hold them hostage. We then got invaded and partially occupied in 1812, same thing there. Half of what is now the U.S. was invaded and successfully occupied in the 1960s and nearly all, if not all, of the war crimes done were done by the invaders (half my family was hanged without trial by a Union regiment solely because they were southern slave owners).

You confuse justification with understanding and accepting of reality. As long as we continue to mis-understand the nature of this war, we cannot win. There is no way we are going to win in Iraq unless we step up the war tremendously. If we fight a war of attrition, we loose that war.

No outside power invaded and occupied the USA in 1776 - you have no argument here at all.

No occupation occured during the war of 1812, only a small portion of the nation was invaded, purely by military troops, for a short time. Cities on both sides were sacked.

The Civil war? There are hienous atrocities on both sides of that war. But still, it was not a foriegn power invading and occuping the country. They did not bring a different religion and social structure to the country.

None of your examples have any merit at all.
