“There has never been an American army as violent and murderous as the one in Iraq”

>>Wow. You think that “There has never been an American army as violent and murderous as the one in Iraq.”...

I'm not taking on the article, the statement or elsewise. I'm just looking at it from the perspective of American Soliders as police in a foreign land which is essentially what they are (well armed police). This kind of thing is going to happen. It's too bad the President didn't take his own advice about nation building and being world's policemen while on the campaign trail in 2000. :shrug: You can do it under the auspices of the U.N. (K4) where you don't take all the heat when something goes wrong, but I'm also not completely comfortable with that arrangement.
