disturbing

I just heard about the most recent incident in Fallujah, Iraq. What wasn't mentioned in the initial stories was the type of contract work these people were involved in - they were mercs. Don't get me wrong, this type of behavior is absolutely unacceptable and abhorrent no matter who the victims but let's not pretend they were innocent American bystanders either. Those men were over there in a military capacity, whether part of the actual American military or not.

So I'm guessing the next step is American retaliation, then more Iraqi jabs back and so on. When is this slaughter going to end?
