Back to your post about the leukemia patients. Boy, it's good that the Italian Red Cross betrayed the trust the US troops put in them by passing people thru the checkpoints cuz we sure as heck wouldn't have taken them in and given them treatment.
Inside each person lives two wolves. One is loyal, kind, respectful, humble and open to the mystery of life. The other is greedy, jealous, hateful, afraid and blind to the wonders of life. They are in battle for your spirit. The one who wins is the one you feed.

Your claim was that others were treating Italy as if they were traitors. I was pointing out that nobody here expressed any such belief. Nobody's accused them of any behavior that might be reasonably described as traitorous.
You’re a linguist AND a mind reader now Xao?
No mind reading required. You clearly stated "Don't treat them like traitors, treat them like morons." I have no idea what anyone else might have thought about Italy's actions, which is why I used the terms "expressed" and "accused".

Who's claiming to be the mind reader now? Even if we assume that Mart simply tossed the rolling eyes in at the end of the post for the sake of aesthetics, it's a page after your claim.
I know for a fact that Italians do in fact like there frozen dairy treats hence the must also be treasonish (not a real word don't think :p )
Seriously though, if we were smart we'd do that same thing and plant a GPS chip under there skin, wait a few days, weeks, months, and then drop a shit ton of TNT on them /shwing !!
If you don't think for a minute that US troops didn't check all their boxes and bundles as thoroughly as they should have because they were the Red Cross you're living in a dream world. Therefore they betrayed the trust the US troops placed in them.
Yes, I'm behind on this argument....busy day.

Would you go so far as to say their breach of trust is traitorous, Mart?
Depends on your definition of traitor. If you mean a person who betrays their country, then that's obviously a no. However, if you mean a person who betrays a trust, then I'd have to say yes.
I'd say that the Italian Red Cross will pay dearly for this breach of trust. I can virtually guarantee that not a box of crackers will pass thru checkpoints after this without a proctol exam and I'm just as sure that inspections will probably take 3 times as long as they should.

What they did is wrong no matter how you slice it, aside from ignoring consequence. There are four more healthy, car bombing terrorists alive and well in iraq right now. They saved two women and the bombs these assholes are building are killing dozens at a time. If you cant feel sorry for the grunt who's hummer gets torched, or his mother who lives down your street, feel sorry for the child walking to the store who gets burned alive by one of these fuckers.
Didn't you get the memo Guntaag? Those terrorists/fuckers(as you refer to them) are Freedom fighters man, FREEDOM FIGHTERS! Cindy told me so over spam email. Also, we're using these new cover sheets on all TPS reports so if you could go ahead and do that, that'd be great...

I think I missed some point in this thread...but it'll have to wait until tomorrow for me to re-read and see it.
