Maybe that will make those sniffles a little easier to take?
Yes, it would be a band aid on the wound, as we say. No, seriously, I wouldn't be happy at all. And I am also bloody fed up with how every single newsitem author seems to have this fetish with american trooper doom. As I said, and I meant that, it seems like journalists are excused for lying if they lie equally bad for each side. But you still can't get around the fact that the doom many of us subconciously came to expect has it's roots in the ridiculous suppositions of the "greeted as liberators with roses" thinking. And this is really what is hitting the US in the back now. Now you'll need a lone sarin shell to kill off 60.000 people to justify the war. You need it so bad this predicted event is born from a failed attempt at setting up a booby trap designed to blow up a jeep. As it is with the other side, we've all put our expectations way too high.
