Re:sure "the best" (Score 1)

I would tend to agree (even though I'm a neocon). There's a good saying that every terrorist is another person's freedom fighter (A line straight from anti-terrorism training manuals). The hard part is that freedom fighting appears to be in shades of grey. It's hard to condemn a person for something they truly believe in. Where should we draw the line though. It's easy to say that Iraqis that attack hotels are bad, but surely all of the ones that attack US troops don't have pure intentions, and thus we can't make a blanket statement absolving them of their actions. It should be clear then, that it is not easy to pass judgement on either the Iraqis, or our own (American) government. Surely history will pass judgement. I think that most people, including the Brittish, will agree that the revolutionary war turned out OK in the long run (the very long run). Will we be able to say the same thing if the Iraqi insurgency is successful? Please reference the insurgency in Afghanistan in the 1980's and the result of its success, the Taliban. And yes, I know, we funded the insurgency, history bites you on the ass sometimes.

OK, my ranting is over.
