Comments on: TARANTO:Tet’s Real Lesson http://rightvoices.com/2006/10/19/tarantotets-real-lesson/ in all matter of opinion, our adversaries are insane.

A Canadian sniper in Afghanistan shot a Taliban fighter off of a horse at over 2600 meters"</em> I would believe the distance but not the fact on the moving target (as a rider in two dimensions!)... If that shot happened, the sniper had somewhat luck (and the Taliban bad luck...) “True snipers have hit targets at ranges in excess of a mile.

From a military standpoint, Tet was a disaster for the Viet Cong. They were decimated militarily. Had the American press been as pro American during Vietnam as they were during WWII, it would've been reported as the victory that it was. Instead it was reported as a massive failure and became an anti war propaganda tool. Had Cronkite (an unqualified to do anything but read the news reporter) actually reported the news instead of editorializing on it, the people would've realized exactly how successful we were being in Vietnam. The Same is true of the war in Iraq. Yes, some areas of Baghdad don't have as much electricity as they did during the Hussein regime, however, over 3 times as many households in the country have utilities that did not under Hussein regime. Basically, Saddam and his boys were siphoning off all of the electricity to Baghdad. Thereby forcing the much of the country to live in 17th century conditions. Had Saddam not been so greedy, his country could've prospered and he'd have been hailed as a great leader instead of as despot and tyrant.The same applies to Kim Jong Il, except North Korea lacks Iraq's natural resources.

Oh wait that might lead people to believe that the US fighting men and women actually are capable of taking the fight to the enemy. In the ROTC department at the college I went to there was a poster on the wall that said "US Paratroopers give the enemy the maximum opportunity to die for his country." There have been hundreds of incidences of US Army and Marine snipers eliminating Islamist snipers (?) from far beyond the range at which the Islamists were able to engage them. For our Marines, a shot at 400 meters with an optics equipped rifle is a pot shot. True snipers have hit targets at ranges in excess of a mile. A Canadian sniper in Afghanistan shot a Taliban fighter off of a horse at over 2600 meters. The Taliban member didn't hear the shot that killed him and with a semi automatic rifle a second aimed shot could've been fired BEFORE the first shot was heard. Doesn't that just send chills up your spine?

Maybe that shop is run by Austrian people (Wiener Schnitzel is an Austrian Dish) and there are regional differences in how things are called, but you may see in any dictionary that a "Wurst" is a sausage and a "Schnitzel" is sth. steaklike (flat piece of young cow or porc without a bone).

How many people did Saddam kill in a year? You really think that murderous people like saddam in power is a safer, more peaceful world? Then you had better see a good student of Sigmund Freud.
