#1 There were no innocent people killed. Stupid? yes. Innocent? no.

Innocent people would not put themseleves, or their children in such a dangerous situation. Innocent people would hang their head in shame, behind closed doors. The guilty, the guilty by association, and the stupid learned a very hard lesson....PISS ON THE US AND YOU TAKE YOUR LIFE IN YOUR OWN HANDS.

CAVEAT EMPTOR, A**HOLES

#2 Yup, stay away from burning American armour in future. The process of natural selection continues apace in Iraq.

#3 Shame, in Arabia, is simply embarrassment - it carries no connotation of being instructive, no requisite self-examination. It's not the same thing as what we know as shame. No Arab will hang its head in shame - it will seethe and seek revenge for being embarrassed. There's only one way to deal with them: hard with a steel fist. The lesson for those who survive the clash must be fear. Kill it if you can. Make it fear your very glance, if you let it live. Sooner or later we will "get it".

It WILL learn that a hot stove burns, so you can condition these creatures to give up the end-zone dance - just make the penalty STEEP. And never let up. My $0.02.

#4 Al Arabiya showed compelling images that followed the journalist, Mazen al-Tumeizi, as he stumbled away from the scene of the airstrikes, yelling, "Iâm dying, Iâm dying!" More than 20 journalists have been killed here since the beginning of the American invasion.

How you like your Big Story now?

Shouldn't the guy have said, "Virgins, here I come?" Whatever happened to loving death as Americans love life?

#6 I don't know anything about this particular reporter -so I'm not talking about him directly. But I do think it's time that we start considering some specific reporters as ememy combatants. The pen isn't really more mighty when it actually comes up against a sword.
