Wolffman - I read your post very carefully and would like to comment a bit.

I worked for the Defense Industry back in the early 90s (after coming back from the Gulf War) as a software developer refining the technology (sorry can't disclose). I am a Filipino American and have also experienced racism.

I have seen the Iraqi peoples eyes. I have been in briefings (military). I just wish that the information can be shared. You would change your views also.

I am not by any means attacking/flaming you in anyway. I apologize in advance if I come accross as such. This post was meant to respond to those saying that what the allied nations are doing is wrong.

For me, my wholehearted support to the Commander-in-Chief, the soldiers (allied), and the nations who understand.
