Burt had on and the sharply contrasting artifacts in the Iraqi man's hand. However much "good" we as a nation might do, there is a world of difference between me voluntarily supporting a missionary effort to help farmers or me supporting a merchant as a business endeavor to rent farm equipment to Iraqies; and the coersion involved with our mercenaries extending our empire. My choice is for missionaries and merchants not mercenaries. Iraq has never been a remote threat to the USA, had no relation to the 9/11 attack and our action as a nation around the world is one of spreading terror. I look forward to the awakening of American's to our birthright as the land of the free, and not just the theoretically free. I could not help but notice the weapons of mass destruction Lt.
