Do you live somewhere where American military is a occupation force?
that "guilty until proven innocent" philosophy has worked so well in the past.
Au contraire, occupation forces are welcomed with dates and flowers by the locals since they know how much their lives will improve under military occupation. Hell, in my state, we have two or three a year.
Your comment doesn't address my point, which is that many people condemning (and, really, in this case distorting) the actions of american soldiers simultaneously give a free pass to the same level of behavior on the part of anyone who's not an american.
That's because actions are in Iraq and not America. Its never in America. Always in someone else's county.
