How would we like it if they were in our country, telling us what to do? How would we like it if members of our family were killed because they were in our country telling us what to do?
I realize the Iraqis are not all innocents in this situation, but given the situation as a whole, the US media seems to act as if these killings of US citizens came out of nowhere with no provocation whatsoever.
And my feelings are always ambiguous about the US being police cop to the world. Perhaps there are times when you can ask, "Why doesn't someone who can do something about this situation do something", but I think in many of the cases, we just make it worse.
