Like swatting flies with… well, an armored tank.

This hurts me because the last thing I ever want to be is disillusioned by the men and women that risk their lives in a war they didn’t start. If Abu Graid is any example, it’s obvious that ridiculous situations often end up with ridiculous solutions.

Otherwise decent people (I would imagine) loosing there mind by circumstance. Democracy? No, that was rule of might. Justice? No, there was no due process. No well-circumscribed goals in Iraq, just a grudge against taxi drivers apparently.
