And how are they doing that? Well, whilst pursuing 4 suspected terrorists (they'd ran a checkpoint in their car), US troops managed to accidentally kill between 8-11 (depending on which report you read) Iraqi policemen, as well as the 4 suspects.

Hm...yeah, way to go boys! THAT will really encourage the people of Iraq to trust in the occupying coalition. I mean, there may well be more to it; maybe the policemen will turn out to be Saddam loyalists, who knows? But the fact is that the coalition are still behaving in a cack-handed and bullying fashion. That's not a recipe for lasting peace in Iraq, it's a recipe for disaster.

And people still wonder why the US is so widely hated?

Nope, i guess when those two british helicopters crashed into each other that was a figment of my imagination then. That to me was the stupidest moment of the war. I presume they're fitted with the latest hi-tech gadgets and radar systems plus the fact the pilots have eyes, how in the bloody hell can't you see a helicopter right next to you?

I have the misfortune to read it from time to time and every time i read it it seems like Mr Laden has taken over as editor.

*america evil, america to blame for all world trouble, a child dropped a crisp packet on the floor it's all america's doing!!!!!!!!*


So there you go Bush pop off to London, Osamas' been hiding in the Mirror's editing offices all this time.

Waaaaaaah!!! You nasty man!! You don't agree with me so you must be a FASCIST! And probably a TERRORIST!!

Heh. Sorry...was possessed by the spirit of Belldandy for a while...

As a mature reasonable adult, I'm sure he'll take it in the spirit that it was meant. :)

You know, I read Light's posts and by the end, I always have the feeling I'm reading something from the Daily Mirror. :D

But why were there 8-11 Iraqi policemen in one car? It must have looked like a scene from the Keystone Cops*.
