#1 ...denounced by American liberals as encouraging vigilante justice...
Quagmire! Quagmire! *yawn*

Disarming the Iraqi population wonât be possible until there is a lot less crime. A lot of those weapons will have to be taken out of circulation eventually, if only to cut down on the family, and tribal, feuds that often turn into gun battles.
Well, I guess we know how this author feels about gun control and giving the Iraqis their own version of the 2nd Amendment. I also like how he states his opinions as absolute fact. He's a subtle one...

Have to? Why? Especially since "By law, every Iraqi household can have one firearm..."

I have two Myself, and I'm sure in Texas, the average is 3 or 4 per household.

#4 Gun grabbers can't resist pushing their agenda in every forum possible.

This show is apperently having the desires effect. Liberals who by and large hate the United States due to their deep psychological problems with the US being a great place to live and wonderful country, can't stand this.

Well, per household member. I've lost count, myself.

#6 How come we can't see this program in the US? Why doesn't FOX translate it and put the highlights on once a week?

It will be more compelling television than the typical crap they put out. And whem is Baghdad CSI coming out?

What don't American liberals denounce as "vigilante justice"? Hell, they call our cops that half the time.

#8 As Heinlein said (with my addition)...

An armed society is (eventually) a polite society.
