I know that we have very few liberal (pinko commie bastards) on this board, but to anyone who wants to lament the soldiers, airmen, Marines and sailors who have lost their lives in this present conflict should look back on the words of General George S. Patton, Jr.:
"It is fooloish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather, we should thank God that such men lived."
And in the words of a present day serviceman who shall remain anonymous:
"Hey Hippie, it's all about the oil? If all we really wanted was their oil, trust me, we would already have it."
