The Nazis were invading and overthrowing Europe. They killed and tortured millions of people. They performed experiemental operations on thousands of their victums, used the skin of jewish babies to make lampshades, and gassed innocent people, etc. etc. etc. How could anyone use the word noble in relation to the Nazis???
The Iraqis haven't done anything to us. Yes, Saddam did some saber rattling at the US. But we invaded their country, overthrew their government, occupy their country, and have killed thousands of innocent Iraqis, all under false WMD assumptions. We even used White Phosphourus as a chemical weapon in Fallujah, which not only hit the insurgents, but also many civilians. Can you imagine the outcry if the insurgents used White Phosphourus on our troops?
When Jessica Lynch was captured by the insurgents, Bush demanded that they adhere to the Geneva Convention in the treatment of prisoners of war. Yet, he thinks he is above the rules of war in the treatment of prisoners.
God bless our troops, and God help our government!
