Reflections: You Ask Why They Hate Us?

A

Here is why they hate us:

A military statement says those killed Friday in the Sunni town of Adwar include four suspected insurgents and three women. It says a child has been pulled from the rubble and is being treated at a nearby U.S. base.

The military says the U.S. troops were targeting a man believed to be the leader of a bombing network in an area north of Baghdad.

Please note that the "collateral damage" involved in our attempt to kill (not to say "murder") four suspected (got that? suspected) insurgents adds up to a one-to-one ratio of suspects vs. innocent women and children. And we do it all risk-free, from the air. They haven't even got the ability to defend themselves.

I think that they don't so much hate, as despise, us.
