i guess i'm reacting to the 'big deal' statement you made..
the 'cultural problem' is a HUGE deal, i should have been more specific, but ignoring racial problems is part of what got us in this mess. bush smears racism into the mix of a war on terror.. the 'them' and 'they' being the 'enemy of america' his regime depends on racism through fear and this adds up to Demonization. its been extended to anyone against military action now..(with us or with the terrorists) with this situation of the fighters blending into the civilians the problem is compounded.
