I think its high time we got off the moral high horse that says we are "liberators" and the "forces of right and freedom." And we started accepting what we are. A band of soiders in an invading amry doing thier damnedest to help the iraqi people under impossible conditions, with an non-sensicval military objective. These people are in combat, and are living thier lives under constant threat of death. Someof them have lost buddies to this war, or family members. Why do we assume that there is no problems for them to be paladins? Give them a break, they aren't evil, murdering torturers. They are soldiers. And they are acting like soldiers, and making some mistakes as soldiers do, and crossing some lines as soldiers do.

Its a war, if you want to be the guardians of morality, then don't even ever ever send young men to kill, and get killed.


Dammmit, that gets across one point I was trying to make much clearer than I was able to make it. :D

WTF is C3PO supposed to be USEFUL for anyway, besides whining? Stupid piece of scrap metal would be more useful recycled as a toaster. But even that would suck, because who would want to listen to a whining wussy toaster? Is he gold plated? If that's the case he should just be melted down into gold ingots. Help the economy some, and stop being so damn useless you stupid bucket of bolts! R2 is 1,000 times more useful than your tin man ass, and he's shaped like a salt and pepper shaker FFS!
