Can't a soldier say, "I love peace not war," can't he say, "I love my mother more than my blood." He can. Since Iraq invasion, according to AP, 2035 American soldiers have died for the sake of war on terror (or war on innocents). The number is still soaring. A soldier there can even say, "I am the most unlucky man on this earth," who doesn't know when the war will end, how much respect will he get from the people and for whom he is fighting. Will the Arabic textbooks recognise these men as brave soldiers or just invaders?Why should we hate these pawn soldiers, who joined the army for raising money for college, for serving their nation or for protecting humanity? They are also human beings; they have love for people around them. They are just misguided. May God help them.
