#1 These murdering scum are aided and worshiped by the likes of Michael Moore, Howard Dean and the al-Gore and al-Sharpton monsters in the U.S. and people like Claire Short in England and Jacques Chirac in France.

In Germany, they ran the gas chambers and hauled off all who disagreed with them. In Cambodia, they just killed them in the fields.

Islamofascism, like Nazism and Stalinism before them are manifestations of pure evil.

#2 On a more practical note, despite the color, I have a feeling that the "emails to home" are now being thoroughly vetted before transmission. This is now far less their worrying about tactical considerations than as an anti-propaganda tool. They don't want soldiers ill-composed writings to be used out of context, mis-quoted, or used to deceive the public. "They served lima beans last night and you know how I hate them", becomes "Widespread discontent by soldiers causes them to hate their leaders", on AFP. Or AP. Or CNN, etc.

#3 Decades of Saddam's rule created some monsters who feel they are immune to normal law, destined to rule Iraq, and taught them how to deal with the cattle - Shi'a and Kurds in this case. Arab society has tolerated the latter, the viciousness, for millenia. The picture is definitely apropos.

It will take 2 or more generations of truly hardcore authority and vigilantiism to undo the damage. To completely eradicate a human mindset does take at least 2 generations of the alternative view being the socially accepted and thus rewarded mindset. If you take the children away and do not allow parental or social (and in Arabia this means religious teaching, as well) indoctrination, it takes just one generation to make a monumental change in "norms".

I have a rant that follow on here, but I'll spare you - for now, heh.

#4 Anybody with first hand knowledge about censorship of e-mail from the front?

How long are e-mails usually held before they are released to their recipient? Who does the censoring? CO's or a censorship organization? When the backlog gets too big, do they have a "disk crash"? How is this affecting morale?
