Thank God They Don't Have the NRA Over There.
Ok, back to hardcore stuff.

American soldiers are still being killed in Iraq, however, it could be much worse.

Much as it has with it's own citizens at home, the US government has been denying rights guranteed by it's own constitution to Iraqis ever since "liberating" them more than a month ago. However, the renunciation of the Bill of Rights is even more complete in Iraq, where the Iraqis aren't even allowed to bear arms (which is the most important right there is, according to most conservatives). As this CNN article attests, US soldiers have been enacting the paranoid nightmares of "survivalists" all across the US in the deserts of Iraq, sweeping into towns and stealing all the people's weapons.

Which brings me to my point. It's a good thing the Iraqis don't have the NRA...otherwise the body count would be much higher...possibly even as high as it is right here in the US!
