<description>Smenkharon, with people like you inhabiting the earth what is there to see?! &quot;A&#039;int&quot; missing shit! One might say I would rather be &quot;blind&quot; than see what it is you are seeing. Cos God knows, from your posts, what you are seeing? No evidence that you know any better than the believers and conclusive evidence that you are not a happy camper. Move towards the light:)</description>

<description>Goodness gracious! Jim Carruthers, are you not special?! Let me get this straight. This man went to Iraq for work. You believe the Iraq war was unjustified. Somehow, his death was deserved? It was justified? He should not be mourned? The Italians should not see him as a hero as they should because he preferred to look his killers in the eye?

Is that what you feel? That is why you call him a mercenary? The War has happened. People will need to go in there to repair the infrastructure. If they die, it is justified? Or we should leave it for the Iraqis to sort out? At that point &quot;wonderful peace loving people&quot; such as yourself will have something else to moan about?

Unbelievable! You truly are special. The world must be a better place for having anti-war people like you that have no sympathy for the death of a human being  who went to work because you disagreed with the War in question. Angels in heaven must be chanting your name. The world is a better place because you are in it....I just can&#039;t tell or see how, though. God save us from these types of peace loving people. Unbelievable!</description>

<description>i am curious as to the point of cutting and asting an entire news article from elsewhere.  Also, don&#039;t you ened express permission of the publisher to do that? fair enough, provide some quotes from the original article, but at least re-write the story in your own words (possibly using more than one source), and preferably offer some opinion of your own.
last time i looked, Blogcritics wasn&#039;t a news site</description>

<description>And the murder of a mercenary is relevant how, you cack-handed mini-goebbels?

Mercenaries going to a war-zone which is deteriorating is a balance-sheet of risk assessment. Not heroism.

I can&#039;t wait for the story of &quot;we had to destroy the village to save the village&quot;.
