3. "mercenaries"
Edited on Sun Jun-06-04 06:45 AM by lebkuchen
I used that word in a published letter just last month. With enough public repetition, perhaps the media will catchup to reality.

7. The Polish spokesman called them "office workers"
On the old Lunaville site, the blurb for the AP story has the Polish Foreign Ministry spokesman (Boguslaw Majewski) calling them office workers, although the link doesn't work any more.

8. I'm going to come off as heartless,
Which by pretty much all accounts I am the opposite,but I'm sick and tired of war profiteers.

People act like Iraq does not belong to its own people. Just come in and do want we want la-de-da.

Sorry, I guess I'm in a bad mood tonight.

11. You are not heartless
War profiteers deserve no empathy whatsoever. That is just the way it is.

9. I'd think they
were either mercs or spies. Either way, the term civilian makes it sound as though they were in vacation or something and got in hot water.
Face it, anyone over there now not wearing camoflauge and carrying an M16 (that isn't an Iraqi) has to be suspect as to their intent.......

13. I agree!!
There are a lot of children needing medical care and a lot of seniors who don't have enough to eat. Its disgraceful.

And the worst is a lot of so called Christians-- don't give a shit---they are hypocrits, worried if poor old Nancy Reagan will make it through or whether the CHIMPANZEE can find the WMDs
