After spending a career interviewing a countless number of people who served in the military in WW2, this is how Stephen Ambrose sums up the general consensus of what the G.I.s thought of the people they met.."The standard story of how the American G.I. to the foreign people he met during the course of WWII runs like this: He felt the Arabs were despicable, liars, thieves, dirty, awful, without a redeeming feature. The Italians were liars, thieves, dirty, wonderful, with many redeeming features, but never to be trusted. The rural French were sullen, slow, and ungrateful while the Parisians were rapacious, cunniing, indifferent to whether they were cheating Germans or Americans. The British people were brave, resourceful, quaint, reserved, dull. The Dutch were, as noted, regarded as simply wonderful in every way,,." This is printed in "Band of Brothers"
"We will have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us" Gold...Expand for more

This is why the Arabs use their children as human shields and suicide bombers. Why they taget childen, retirement homes, supermarkets, crowded buses. and other civilian targests that will maximize civilian casuaties.
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
Teddy Roosevelt
My favorite line from a song........

Zorba, from Zorba The Greek
Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.
