And on top of that you're right there are some bad apples in the military, especially since they're becomming desperate at this point and are looking to criminals but just like everyone else in the world you hear a few dudes doing something bad you take the assumption that they're ALL like that or at least in this case that most of them are like that. Believe it or not there are people on my campus who get raped but is it safe to assume that all college males commit rape?
Your enemy ?? Who in Iraq was your enemy ?
Do you mean the SAUDI terrorists that flew the planes ?

I never ever assume , I was simply pointing out that such incidents do not make Iraqis feel safe and they also turn people against what a lot of them see as an invading force. Have you ever heard the saying about one bad apple spoiling the rest ?
Things such as the rape and slaughter of this family taint all the forces in Iraq because it destroys any trust and belief that the people wearing allied uniforms want to help.

So are you trying to tell me that the only casualties were "the enemy" and no civilians or innocents were harmed by allied forces ?

That is bordering on delusional if you believe it to be the case.

From your article.....
I believe rapists and murderers should fry

Ah yes...brings an old favorite to mind.
Talking of old favourites

I will answer that by reminding you that
A America has never "kicked our arses" they needed the help of the French ,Spanish and Dutch to beat us.
B America did not win the first or second WW , Hitler lost it due to stupid decisions like attacking Russia in the winter time when the Russians were using the same tactics they used against Napoleon.
The first real turning point in the European theater of war (1939 - 1945 (when did the US get involved?)) was the Battle of Britain , there were Brit pilots , Polish pilots , lots of other nationalities and only 1 American. I won't mention it was the dollar signs that led to the rip off Lend /Lease Agreement.
