We have become them...

When you murder people for being murderers you become murderers. We have caused much death to stop a man from killing. Could we not have brought these people to justice in a more civilized way? Letting the inspections work, while hunting down Saddam with all our advanced technology and spy capabilites we could have done it but we would not have been able to occupy and control the resources of the rich country so we became the man they hated.

1. I most definitely am not a part of this "we" - having protested

with every fiber of my being - though every means possible. I do not have blood on my hands.

4. Guilt by association

Do you think anyone else, particularly terrorists though that's a bad example, will stop to analyze and decide who is against Bush*'s insanity and separate them?

There are people in the civilized nations who say we're all guilty regardless. :-(

2. Yeah, we had no power to affect this.

We did not even elect the son of a bush.

I am looking at it as the justice of the universe. I do believe these men were the thugs they were reputed to be.

I refuse to be lumped in with a bunch of criminals and usurpers.

5. I'm speaking metaphorically as a nation not as individuals

I was protesting too and was at my wits end trying to make people see the maddness
