Pathos? All I've got here is an attempt to look through the eyes of those under the US attack. There is a good reason our Marines are ``surrounded by enemies''. Believe me that is the last thing I want for them. We're supposed to be the good guys, but the story told in Iraq and especially Falluja is one of America tearing up the rules of international law in the most brutal manner. That may not mean much to Bush & ilk, but it'll haunt all the rest of us -- our own military, Iraqis, everyone else -- as long as we live.

That child who was wounded was probably wounded by accident. How would you feel, a U.S. Marine in Iraq surrounded by thousands of possible enemies. You would make mistakes too, don't tell me you wouldn't. Also, I agree that you have every right to your opinion, but I think loading your site with one-sided pathos arguments only makes people less-inclined to believe your remarks. What gets me is how you are protesting America's actions, yet your pen name itself trumpets out the same 'evils' that our forces are supposedly commiting.
