Andy: Why are the American troops in Iraq so hated by Iraqi
civilians?
Eric: Because we are occupying their country.
"Admitir que haja guerras justas
é o mesmo que admitir a existência
de injustiças justas."
Carlos Drummond de Andrade, escritor e poeta brasileiro.
{My rough translation: to assume there are any just wars is like
assuming there is unjust justice.]
Andy: While you're at it, explain to me how these stupid people
can train pigeons to smoke out American troops.
Eric: First they are not stupid. Second they had to survive the
Saddam regime and consequently developed all kinds of secretive
methods to cope with it and communicate.
