What I meant was, how would you react to "I nevertheless wish all those who would attack Iraqi soldiers a slow and painful death."?

Well, there aren't really any more Iraqi soldiers. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Look, I supported the war and I feel it was for good reason. I think Bush argued the wrong reasons, as did T. Blair, and it has come back to haunt them (and is likely a political suicide in the instance of Blair).
Plus, there are teams in these things, see. When the Cubs play a baseball game, I cheer for them because I'm from Chicago -- not because S. Sosa is a sissyfied crybaby. When UK plays basketball, I cheer them on, 'cause I have been a Kentucky fan all my life.
Similarly, when the USA goes to war, I tend to cheer for our team, even in those instances where I oppose going to war. Pretty simple, really.
So, yes, if I had to choose the life of an American vs. the life of someone from another country (
all other things being equal), I would choose the American life. Sorry if that offends any of y'all but as with all things when it comes down to it, "us" and "them" generally dictates at least some decisions.
