the romanticizing of the military operation in Iraq, especially, is not in the best interest of anyone. Iraq-- no army, no air force, and no navy was easily invaded and bombed to bits on the lies of an insane man, killing thousands of civilians sleeping in their beds, and now a bunch of rag tag insurgents bent upon defending and fighting for their freedom and their country, wreaking havoc upon the invaders and the occupiers with homemade bombs and suicide bombs, whose casualties outnumber the invaders by at least ten to one. Still they fight as any resistance movement does and has done in the past. They are now the "enemy"--and are dubbed , unbelievably, "terrorists"

Oh what romantic stories can be brought home and told about this war to children at home.
