        Yeah - anyone who thinks a few fruit trees are as valuable as his own hands *is* touched!

          That isn't a tactic they should be pursuing. Instead they should pre-plot the grid coordinates for all of those farmers homes and station someone with night vision goggles a kilometer away and as soon as they see anyone with an AK-47 or RPG enter the village they can immediateley level the place. If the poor, innocent farmers weren't lying, then no guerrillas will ever enter their homes. If they were lying, then their time on earth could be mercifully cut short rather than chop down a few trees and have to listen to them in the news.

            Did someone tell them Iraq is a real country, and not a landlord-and-peasant playground?

              Hey, you know, fruits don't grow in supermarkets. It's well possible this grove was all his life, support of his family, his family's heritage, given from father to son. I know that in a throw-away society, this might not make much sense to you. But your attitude is as disgusting as the jazz playing.

Look - you have Saddam Hussein and his clannish thugs. You have farmers that we suspect of harboring nazi Baathist reactionaries. The farmers tell us - We No see! We no see! You wrong! We no see terrorists! I agree - cutting off these people's livlihoods wasn't a good idea. But if we witness them allowing Baathist terrorists to use their homes then that makes them the enemy. Otherwise they would have told us. Therefore, we level them instead of cutting down their stupid trees. Or I guess we should just allow them to harbor your Baathist buddies and let them kill some more Americans so you can gleefully post about it.

                      Peter-sama so graced us: Hey, you know, fruits don't grow in supermarkets. Thanks Einstein. Your sense for the obvious is well-honed, indeed. Peter-domo said to me just the other day: It's well possible this grove was all his life, support of his family, his family's heritage, given from father to son. I'm sure that isn't impossible. I agree. Well soon they'll be able to make even more money working at a McDonalds. Mr. Chen spoke, and he sayeth: I know that in a throw-away society, this might not make much sense to you So you must not live in a throw-away society, or else you wouldn't understand it either. Peter-san uttered: as disgusting as the jazz playing. I take it you like rap? So you would rather have your hands cut off than to allow someone to break your computer?

                                Did you know that before the Taliban - with help of US money - came into power, Afghanistan was one of the socially advanced countries in the region? a few dozen families in Iraq now found perfect reason to hate the US, and their soldiers. Keep up the good work, guys. X|

                                        That isn't a tactic they should be pursuing. Instead they should pre-plot the grid coordinates for all of those farmers homes and station someone with night vision goggles a kilometer away and as soon as they see anyone with an AK-47 or RPG enter the village they can immediateley level the place. If the poor, innocent farmers weren't lying, then no guerrillas will ever enter their homes. If they were lying, then their time on earth could be mercifully cut short rather than chop down a few trees and have to listen to them in the news.
