| What I see as difficult with supporting the troops is basically that you are declaring "I hope they can kill quicker than there enemy". Now I was against Hussein, but I am not against the guerrillas (although I don't think they should have started a war till the end of year, at least give the coalition a chance to fulfill its promises). I obviously don't want to see the soldiers killed, but neither do I want them killing civillians, nor guerillas who are taking up arms on behlaf of their people. It comes down to supporting one group simply because of their nationality, which I refuse to do. So I think it is best to say I hope they come home safe.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
