Are you a buffoon? You are trying to provide justification for the
attacks
against troops from your own country?


Separate issues - please answer the first question, and don't combine it
in
any way with #2.

1) What behavior would you like to see from people who see us as an
invader?
A massive letter-writing campaign?

It's been widely accepted that there are three groups that we're fighting:
1) former Baathists, 2) Shiites with Iranian backing, and 3) al Qaeda
terrorists from the surrounding Middle Eastern countries. None of them are
"lawful" combatants as defined by the Geneva Convention...and, thus, none
are entitled its protections.



2) Keep in mind that our own military brass have said they don't believe
that the bulk of the "insurgency" is coming from over the border.

I've seen where *some* of the commanders have said that, but I wouldn't say
that that's the general consensus.
In fact, most of the top guys say that the majority of the organized
terrorist/suicide attacks come from non-Iraqi combatants.

And, keep
in mind, also, that they have better information to back up this belief
than
you or I will EVER have, at least until the history books are written. Do
you feel YOU have information that they don't?

I guess that depends upon who you are talking about. Post just one or two
reputable links where one of our top guys says that the majority of the
enemy we're facing are Iraqi's...and I'll post half a dozen links in which
one of our top guys says that the most severe attacks are coming from
non-Iraqi terrorists.
