Is it just me or does this stuff seem to be happening more and more often now?

(As I said in the WMD topic, I have a few minutes of online time...)
Only because of the media, my friend. They're simply trying to make it seem as though the US is evil, but compare this war to all the others we've fought in. It's nothing. Not saying that this was anything good of them, but we have to put it into perspective.
Btw, I hope they get punished properly for their crimes. But let's not judge them here. That is the worst thing we can do for them.

(Btw...I'm in Albany right now, lol)

I can see how you might be able to make the point about it being the media's fault that Iraq conflict is portrayed in a negative light, but to say that this appears to be happening more and more often is also the media's fault? It's not as if they can make up stories about US military personnel killing people unjustly.
