Iraq 07/08. I was watching Cronkite's body counts by sneaking into the living room when I was little. 54. Thanks for going to Vietnam, wasted a generation there in my opinion.

Putin's government does not resemble any Soviet government in the conduct of war. This is a positive thing. Isn't it funny, considering the invective against Putin, that he turns out to be more of a realist and humanist than the Western powers that he's fighting by proxy?

Consider that if the Israelis are actually interested in going into Gaza on foot, the mess they are making will be their own downfall. All in all, i'd rather clear some intact buildings than a pile of rubble, as several have mentioned.
