kakki >> I watched nearly every hour of that war (even at work).<<

randy >>Yebut yebut-Coverage of Desert storm was censored.<<

watching a war on tv (even writing this sentence sounds crazy...what a
strange world we live in) has little to do with the realities of war...

i think if anyone really wants to understand war, it is essential to listen
to those who fought...here is a place to start

i post again an excerpt from a letter by Charles Sheehan-Miles (founder of
http://www.veteransforcommonsense.org/):

"Twelve years ago, in February of 1991, I crossed the border between
Saudi Arabia and Iraq with the 24th Infantry Division.  Back then I
was a 20-year-old Abrams tank crewman, and I fought in several battles
in southern Iraq. I can say from personal experience, the media got it
wrong. The first Gulf War wasn't clean, it wasn't pretty, and it
wasn't precise."

kakki >>he is someone who has nothing but contempt for most Americans and
their country for most Americans and their country.<<<

randy >>His main criticisms revolve around our foreign policy<<

i've seen this issue come up here so many times- criticizing a gov'ts
foreign policy is completely different than criticizing a citizen of a
country...whether it is the usa, iraq, whatever...HUGE difference...
