: Instead of beating me up, open your minds and expand on my entirely imaginary
: allegory!
Flame! Flame! I think that this whole Iraq thing has reached a whole new level if you think that this is some sort of religious crusade. First off, the Covenant attack every other society that doesn't share their religion. If the US is like that, why aren't we attacking India or China? Second, the Covenant launched the first attack by destroying a whole planet. Taking planets as countries, we attacked Afghanistan and Iraq after the September 11th attacks. And when we attacked those countries, we didn't massacre all the inhabitants. The US' strategy places enormous weight on preventing civilian casualties (certainly some have resulted, but not as a result of accidents - not of policy). Finally, the US is a place of many diverse viewpoints - where I come from hating the US is a popular pastime. Bush's approval ratings are at an all time low (with good reason). The US is far from "united by religion". And however much you disagree with Bush's policies, he is just a politician - he is not some corporate puppet anti-christ. People need to calm down and stop exaggerating how bad he is. As a president, he's bad, but let's be civil people. If you want to find an Iraq allegory look at Halflife 2. Short initial war, long insurgency, superior technology, and a stronghold in the center of the capital which is impenetrable. But I digress.
