Ah, you've uttered the magic mantra the instantaneously induces liberals
to
foam at the mouth.


You forgot to include Cheney.

Q.E.D.

The comical element aside, Ganz has every reason to foam. And so does every
other American who thinks clearly. The use of troops to establish favors for
private American business smacks of imperialism and fascism. If a US company
wants to do business in Iraq let them hire their own private army. Don't
saddle the US taxpayer with the expense and patriotic Americans with the
dangers for profits for some private concern. The way these corporate
officers are overpaid is disgusting, and to throw away American lives so
they can do business? You may claim it has been done for over 100 years
(bananas in Central America for instance) but that does not make it right.

I would suggest reading the following by Smedley Butler (USMC two time
recipient of the Medal of Honor):
