You might remember seeing the photos from that time.

It's important to consider how much suffering the citizens had to endure before they would ever take such measures against a powerful invading country's mercenaries, knowing they could all be bombed into oblivion. Recall the US wingers who screeched for Bush to bomb the country into a sheet of glass.

Nothing good can ever happen associated with Eric Prince's name connected, not ever.

As a reminder, an old article:
