I've seen that posted at my main forum, http://www.netwings.org

I really do wonder if that was the wedding that was shot up earlier this year...

What makes you wonder that? Because there were people near a mosque? It's not like the US where the only time many folks ever see the inside of a church is a wedding. There weren't many there if it was a wedding.

Is Osage still in the squad?  Hard to tell now that we've lowered our standards down to the AssAssIns level - ie, we'll let any idiot join.  If he is, why the hell haven't I seen him post any porn lately?!

Doubt anyone loses sleep over this lot, only the consequences of persuing them. Waiting for the UK civilian population to take a hit over Iraq. Personally I think western countries should scale back involvement in foreign affairs and let other people be the bogeymen for once. Long term it'll save more lives, screw short term morality.
Seems we're buggered either way on Iraq to me but if I was calling the shots both the US and UK'd lie low in the region for a few more years.

Actually, whether it was a mosque or a church or a Wicca circle, it doesn't matter.

Send some 40mm their way (or whatever that thing was shooting).

Disturbing? Perhaps. Wrong? Perhaps. Civilized? Its war, civilization is defined by the winner. Next!

What do you do if your enemy, knowing you wont bomb a mosque, starts hiding.. umm.. in mosques?

Duma: Its unavoidable. Economic ties make "ignoring" other nation's be suicidal. Imagine for a moment the UN had not "mobilized" for the Gulf War. Iraq wouldve had a huge influx of oil money, which very probably wouldve ended up in their biochem/nuke program. Then what do you do? When they begin to export said stuff or use it on their neighbors... what can you do? In the long run you end up facing Iraq armed with WMD's AND no fear or regrets to use them screwing up the whole region because .. umm.. I dunno, they need lebensbraum or some other lame excuse to pull the trigger and conquer.

I know 9/11 had a tremendous psychological effect on your nation. It was an unprecedented attack on civilians on US soil. I understand your anger and sympathize with your craving for revenge.

Umm, if you are referring to my response...you won't yank a retraction from me.  I served in the United States Air Force during the Gulf War and didn't just do the couch potato role you seem to stereotype our nation as being.

Get over yourself.  War is hell, and they brought it on themselves.  Offened by our gloating as we send those "holy warriors" back to Alla in pieces?  Too bad.  Funny how we are expected to respect their "religon of peace" while they procliam Jihads and other "holy wars" against us in the name of their faith.

to you for serving as a Peacekeeper...but don't lecture our citizens for feeling ashamed for seeing those bastards getting their deserved ends.

I know its not politically correct nowadays, but simply stated, you can't please everyone.  And clearly, I'm not pleasing you.  Sorry!
