Killing by the numbers

In 2007 elite U.S. snipers executed an unarmed Iraqi prisoner in cold blood. Have the insidious tactics that led to atrocities in Vietnam reemerged in Iraq?

    Dear Chaumont

    ...And you are also a dimwit.

    In your mind, America and especially white American males are always wrong. We`ve heard it all ad nauseum. Whatever the subject, you will turn it to how white American males have screwed it up and if only we could be lead by females, preferably black/Asian/hispanic/muslim persons of doubtful gender.

    Facts are we won WWII by kicking butt and killing people. That`s called war. If we hadn`t done it the other guys would. If we were not nice, they were abominable. Get over it and have a nice day.

    By the way, I`m a man.
